John and Mike P. (Dr. P.) got back tonight from their ski trip into the BWCA. And reported they had the worst conditions you can have on a winter ski trip. It was -27 at night and deep (12+") snow on the lakes. OK, so far so good; nice deep, powder snow and cold enough so you can see the stars freeze. (Sounds about right for January in northern MN.) But there was also a foot of wet slush under the snow which, of course, froze to their skis and the sleds they were hauling. OK, but at least they could take a short cut across the lake since it was frozen. No, they couldn't do that because of the open water. I think pulling big rocks around the yard sounds like more fun.
