Sat, Feb 7 2009 - Moon-lit XC skiing at Horseshoe Valley (View Original Event Details)
|
Despite the terrible weather forecast, we got a really nice weather; it was warm, quite and not trace of rain (the magic poncho amulet is still working). We followed the light of the lanterns that were signalling the trails. We found Peter from the daytime group; he still had some energy so he had decided to stay for the Horseshoe moon-lite edition.
The Bon Fire was just amazing; we had a great time eating the delicious marshmallow. Next time, we will bring some hotdogs!!!!
The trail was flat, so making it perfect for beginners like Victor. There is a loop that ends with a nice hill, where Victor managed to get back into the tracks and not being able to put the skis in V formation, he looks like a truck without brakes downhill: “Watch out, I cannot stop”. Fortunately, the trees moved apart and the humans too, although it would be good to practice some human bowling.
