    Great pics Rob. i used to go skiing up at Hilton Falls all the time but that was 25 years ago. This is the first winter, I think, that would be worth invest in new equipment and getting back out there. I'm curous, did you have a prblem of snow being kick up under the back of your kilt the way our snow-shoers do? No need for nylon gaiters?

    Small world! I was skiing Hilton Falls 25 years ago too and I do remember the snow being significantly heavier back then.

    We don't get out skiing much any more (3 kids!) so my technique has suffered somewhat. The only benefit is that I'm slower and don't kick up any snow at all so no, that wasn't an issue and gaiters weren't required. I should mention that I ski traditional style, not skating.
    Hardwood Hills is a nice place to go. They've had lots of snow over the years and the trails are always freshly set. Yesterday was a great day to be outside though I think your chicken sporran may have frozen!

    Those are just plain great shots! I really do enjoy seeing the looks on peoples faces when you are supposed to be cold and aren't. Priceless.
