Who’s on it?

Not enough snow to ski the old pasture but it’s been cold enough to freeze the swamp for skating.

The swamp is shallow so you don’t have that nightmare fuel of falling through that comes with deep or fast moving water.

I use a rotary street sweeper / squeegee to clear the ice of snow.

I brought the big boys out but they prefer a lot of space to roam.

It may not replace a day on the mountain but it gets us out of the house and into the fresh air. Besides, turns are turns right?

Yeah, when I was a kid we would skate on a pond like that in a cow field across from my house in Goshen. I gave myself a concussion there. I really sucked at ice skating
