A small group of skiers headed out into somewhat challenging conditions.  The low cloud ceiling and wind said to stay in the trees.  Which we did, more or less.  We basically skied the COTA "3 psi" trail, which coincidentally is 3 miles.  Lots of trail breaking in a foot of thick snow.  One photo shows John pulling me up from a 0 mph fall.  The other gives an idea of conditions.  The final is the treat we had driving back to town.
I'll try it again there when we finally get freezing temperatures to create a crust.  It is pie season, right?
