Took the day off work to hang out in #ferrycounty. Went to Curlew and finally bought a set of @altainils Hok skis. Its sort of surreal to see this tiny store in this tiny town that is the epicenter of such a cool and unique ski product. Maybe it wouldn’t be that weird to me if my people hadn’t lived in the neighborhood for so long, and years ago, when such an enterprise would be unbelievable. In any case: super nice folks and they have a weekly hang on Boulder pass that I’ll definitely be hooking into. This first pic is from the groomed trails in Boulder Pass. I’m really looking forward to more snow where I can use these skis as intended: for exploration and backwoods adventuring. Snow on the lowlands at the #kettleriver is thin and mushy. After a quick spin around the ‘hood on the BFD, I tried fishing, but didn’t properly layer up my bottom half and pretty much numbed out my legs and nuts before any kind of fish action. So, I exercised Rocinante and made sure she is still capable of making snow donuts. Check. House progress: drywall is hung.
