Moonlight Ski

Did you ever have one of those snowcone machines when you were little? You know, the kind where you put ice cubes in it and then turn the plastic handle and it would make that grinding sound as it magically turned the cubes into a snowcone? Think back and get that sound in your head....THAT is the sound of night skiing on Tuesday. It snowed all this great snow but now has been warm the last few days and melted down the snow. Then of course, it refreezes at night and makes a big ice sheet. I saw on the calendar it was going to be a full moon though, so we went cross country skiing. It was actually kind of warm that night and the glow from the moon was amazing. We skied for about 9 miles or so and I had a great time. It DOES get a little eerie out there when all you hear is the scraping of your skis against the snow/ice.






Here is Derek crash...I mean testing out his light, yah, that's what he told me he was doing. Yep, it works!
