When I was a horse wrangler...

Such a great opening line.

A bit late in posting this but Telemark Dave and I had a nice ski at the Limberlost Forest last week. All pics by TD.

In TD language: "Running down a dream of more snow than there was.. @hundwalden and Moira and myself did an early late mid morning ski tour at @thelimberlostforest today. I was so “over-booted” for the trail ski that I simply skied the entire session with only my toe buckles done up. Like Chandler Bing says, Could I have been any stupider??? (Probably, me being me..) "

Moira the dawg helps with preparation:

The humans are kind of almost ready. Moira is way ready.

Telemark race boots and three-pins? Buckles undone!

We made it up to the cabin and decided that the glades were still a little sketchy for old guys.

So we skied the old-school Ascension Trail and had a good time. It's like a Jackrabbit trail, if you have ever had the joy to ski one of those.

Across Buck Lake and back to the car:

Time to head home. There's a dog in there somewhere:

The chair is looking phat. Twigfest is coming up this weekend, should be good conditions and hopefully not brutally cold like most years. Or cancelled due to lack of snow, like the last two years

How old is that chair? I know it's been a staple for a while, just curious.

We got it when we moved here, so about 17 years old. Definitely showing some age but still sittable.
