Crosstown trail (1/31/09)

Lindsey joined us for a fun day of cross-country skiing at Mount Hood's Government Camp. The snow wasn't ideal... pretty icy with just a dusting of fresh on top. And because of the mixed-use nature of the Govy trails, it was full of icy, clumpy potholes from snowshoers and dogs. The weather was warm, around freezing, with no real wind down in the trees. It snowed off and on... little pellet snow. The sun kept trying to break through as the high clouds whizzed by.

We started on the Skiway trail at the west end of Govy and made our way to the Crosstown trail. We stopped for a short break at the Summit Ski Area before turning back.
It was a fun trail with lots of turns and small hills to navigate. It would have been a REALLY fun trail in better snow conditions. It was Lindsey's first time out, and about halfway through she declared it her "new favorite sport!"

Can't wait to go again soon :)
