Our first ski trip

This week we weren't out so much during the weekdays, not when it's -20 - -25C. More or less only during transport to work or short walks, hardly recognizable behind all winter clothes.

But just in time for the weekend the cold weather loosened its grip and today we had around -5C. With some sun shining as well, it was a shame to not be outside. Yesterday we took a walk in the neighborhood, after our standard group exercise hour.

Today we decided it was time to use our skis for the first time, so we walked to Nydalasjön. Surprisingly there wasn't so much snow on the lake as in the landscape around. We followed the perimeter of the lake, in tracks from earlier skiers. Probably the lake wasn't frozen when all the snow fell, since in some places water had pushed through the ice and mixed with the snow, which now had become slush. This kind of surface was hard to ski on, the skis almost got stuck. We arrived back to the apartment 2½ hours later, feeling good about the time outdoors.
Next time we might try the prepared ski tracks around Bräntberget.
