Storm Aftermath

The next-day aftermath of the best snowfall of the year is seen in these photos taken on a cross country ski tour of Win Nordic yesterday, February 3 2011.

The snowbanks surrounding Sebbies Rink are beginning to rival the height of actual hockey boards - although pucks are much easier to lose!

The 800 metre trail which constitutes Win Nordic enjoyed a much-needed revival with the 30 cm dumping of fresh powder snow, and they now offer great classic skiing.

Now all we need is for grandson Sebastian, and his sister Skarlytt, even though only 4 and 2 years old respectively, to learn to love the great out-of-doors and the sports pleasures associated with it!

Then they will some day be able to venture forth and exhaust themselves like their grandfather will no doubt be doing this weekend at Deep River's Silver Spoon Ski Fest in the 15k Classic Ski Race!
