We have been skiing a lot this week. Conditions have been great with warm temps and partly sunny skies. This afternoon Liz, Lori, Doug and I put on our skis at the Stormy Lake Overlook and skied out to Gooseneck Lake for a picnic in the snow. It was great cruisng through the swamps and over lake ice. We just had one short segment of bushwhacking which wasn't too bad. The trip was 5.3 miles according to my GPS, a good distance for...another ski tour to Gooseneck Lake.
