The grooming is better at Cabin Creek, but there are some fun hills and a lot of great scenery here.
I hope a lot of nwhikers took advantage. We haven't had this much snow in a long time.  |

I had to work. My skiing was done in a car, between Lynnwood and Seattle. I got my exercise though....

I skied from my house to Jackson Park, which is about a mile and half each way. The first time I only took off the skis once (on the busiest street). Jackson Park itself was great. It is a very big park (I guess that's common for golf courses) and great for skiing. I did several YoYo trips as well as exploring pretty much all of the park. I ended up doing the loop from my house three times -- twice Saturday and once yesterday.
I saw a lot of people out and about with skis. Mostly skinny, but there were folks carrying downhill skis, and a handful with backcountry. |

| I completed the View Ridge Ski Traverse on Saturday and it involved zero driving, no parking hassles, no obnoxious snowmobiles and zero avvy danger! |

I wandered the snowy forest lowlands of Lake Forest Park yesterday. saw about 12 snowmen and 2 snow bears. And a snow-something; not sure what that was. But kids were laughing and that's all that matters.

| Somebody was grinning at me yesterday like he was about to go home and tell his wife she'll never believe what he just saw. |

| I practiced my XC skiing around the 'hood. At one point a little boy on skis appeared and said, "excuse me, do you recommend the road or the sidewalk?" Which I thought was a funny question re skiing. |

Saturday morning I did a 6 mile tour of NW Seattle. The snow was pretty good. I crossed 80th and 85th in both directions without taking off my skis. Of course I put a trip report on my website with 18 photos.
