It is not often that the nordic ski season starts before the alpine season but with the warm start to the winter Bristol Mountain had not opened when the natural snow awarded us with ski able conditions at Harriet Hollister State Park. I made arrangements to meet with Ron and headed up the hill after getting a report from a fellow patroler Deb that the conditions were reasonable and the trails had been groomed. The conditions were indeed good and I chatted with Deb who was just pulling out then did a quick lap while waiting for Ron. The timing was good and I met up with Ron just as I was almost back to the parking lot. We skied till dusk and left with smiles and a couple of sore muscles, when will I ever learn to go easy on the first day out. I returned today to stretch some tight muscles and work off Christmas dinner.
