Our winter skiing started a few weeks ago when we went with the club up to Orsa. It was much warmer than years past, and I really enjoyed the skiing. I skate skied Saturday and Sunday morning on my own. I really didn't want to ski the road, again, so I set off on the ungroomed Elitspåren both mornings on my own. Sunday evening Kate and I went for a beautiful classic ski on my favorite track- Limbyspåret. Those bumpy, windy, steep downhills in the beginning are my favorite type of skiing!

The wonderful thing about having snow in Uppsala is that I can classic ski right from my apartment door. There are groomed tracks below in the plains that go south, or you can head up in the forest and ski on the frozen marshes. Today I waxed my skis to get as much kick as possible (this is how you do it, right?)

And then I set out for a wonderful ski. Don't let that light fool you, it was midday.

Nice kick waxing job, there.
Yes indeed strong corking & very undulating terrain. :)
Not like the Blue Hills, but the grooming is better...wish I was there.
I did cork it in, but there was so much it mostly like smooshing it around :) Great kick, though!
