Boxing Day Cross Country Ski - 2005
All photos courtesy of John King


Andrea, Joe, John, Roy, Ursula & Carol (taking pic) headed out for some adventure on skis.
We had heard that the snow was the best on the Sawmill Trails and it had been track set. Well some of it anyway!
 

Which way are we going?


John showing us his style


Everyone is happy and having fun
     

All was well and fine until we ventured off the groomed trail and headed into the unknown.
For three brand new skiers, it became the adventure from hell....
 

Joe and John work on their snowplow technique
 

Oops! Catch more of Andrea in action in this short movie
 

Who put this tree here?


Well that didn't work....


.....and this ain't much better

John kept us entertained all the way down. There were trees shaking, knees shaking and great sound effects
     

Joe clears the tree....
...only to get sucked in by another one.


Feet firmly planted on the ground, Joe takes a well deserved snack break.
     


We managed to get off the trails by dark, but not by much.

 

 

For other hikes, bikes, and adventures, go back to the Staff page and look around.
