Winter seems to be over way too fast! We got 'spring' like temperatures these days; and all the snow is melting or turning into ice when the temperature is dropping again over the weekend...
Yes I do LIKE the cold - sunshine, -15C, snow - can't get much better in winter! And I would like a month more of it....
We got a lot of xc-skiing done this season (and hopefully it's not over yet!) - went out almost every week. The snow has been good so far. There has been a constant snow cover in Toronto since the holidays. Unfortunatly, none of us took a single picture while skiing - too busy moving and not wanting to stop to take off the gloves and get cold. I also spend an awesome weekend in Tremblant in Quebec with the 'chemists' at the end of January. We stayed in nice chalets with ski-in possibility, when you didn't have to get rentals or miss-read the map on the way home...It was a chilly weekend and the trails were very icy in the afternoons. So, we got out for the first lift, before 8am in the morning...Those first runs were the best of the day! Even did some mogul pistes, though I got to admit I am not very fond of them, especially in combination with branches, ice and dirt.
Here are some pictures from the ravine at my house and a walk through High Park.
