Warmer or Colder?

The nice thing about being both a skier & a biker is that whichever way the weather goes I’m ok. Too warm to ski, then get on the bike and vice versa. Yesterday I rode the lake front path and today I skied Lapham Peak. The man made snow on the loop was actually in really good shape. I had rewaxed my ski’s with Swix CH7 (Purple) which was perfect considering how warm it was out there.

Last night Katy & I braved the below zero temperatures and went skiing at Lapham Peak near Milwaukee. This was my 3rd time out on the skinny skis and I feel like I’m getting the hang of it. Skate skiing is tough to learn, but I’ve had some experience with ice skating & alpine skiing. As advertised xc skiing is a total body workout; my legs, back, abs, arms…everything is sore today.
