New boots, bad snow
Johanna got me new hiking boots for Valentine’s Day, because my heel has gone through the insoles (and below whatever the next layer is) in my old boots. They started giving me weird blisters and I was leaning back all the time. I went into the woods yesterday to see if the new boots worked and they do. While I was walking around and not sinking deeply into the snow, I thought maybe I should try to go skiing. It just so happened that I had brought skis with me. It appeared that there was a very thin layer of powder on top of very packed and icy snow. I remember conditions like that from a few years ago and the skiing was awesome.
I was wrong, generally. Or maybe, if I had metal edges I wouldn’t have slid around so much. I think what I remembered from a few years ago had lot of more powder.
Well, anyway, as part of my new quantity, not quality philosophy for this blog, here’s a post of skiing not working that well and new boots. Maybe I should start posting some new videos of commuting or something.
