Those of you who have read my blog from time to time know that in winter I love to cross-country ski. Today was one of those perfect days. The weather was about -12 degrees Celsius and we got 20 cm of fresh powdery snow this week. With the right wax you can literally fly across the snow. There is nothing quite like it, the cold sparkling air like a fine champagne, the sun and bluish shadows on the snow, the the squeaky sound your skis make on the snow and the feeling of gliding across the landscape. Despite what my lil' sister says there is some good to winter weather...
The brook isn't quite frozen yet.

To each his own brother mine... Purty pics though!
Beautiful. Skiing is the one good thing about snow.
The photos are wonderful. It looks beautiful but cold! I'll just stay here by the fire and enjoy the photos...you go out in the freezing cold and take them.
Jazz: Thanks
citizen: What would winter be without sking.. too long I guess.
EM: Yep it was cold but I've skied in colder, -20 to -30 with a stiff breeze, now that's cold. You ski fast just to keep from freezing.
I'm with Jazz on this. Beautiful pictures, but winter sports? no thanks.
Gorgeous photos!
