Skiing with hoola hoops

We had some snow for a trail run on our cross country skis yesterday with our ski club.

The group is learning some ski skills and we had a lot of fun with it. We all took a turn skiing through a hoola hoop.

At one point we shared the trail with some horses which the kids thought was pretty cool.

A couple of kids from the group also had fun with the GPS unit we brought. They tracked how far we skied to the warming hut and their speed. Next time they hope to beat their maximum speed of 3.8 mph.

The quote of the day was from G.:

"Moooom, I stepped in horse poop with my ski boot! (pause) Oh, it's OK. It was old. It came right off."
