No snow yet, so I got out today and hit the frost. I am left wondering, was I the only person on Earth out skiing on frost today? Perhaps. Pretty good conditions… for frost. #crosscountryskiing #skithefrost #coloradosprings #nordicskiing

@KrajciTom @uguisubari Hmm, that seems like a lot better way to learn than my (ill fated) "here, I'll take you up the canyon" with my friend, which we aborted as my not-very-coordinated-and-spindly teenage self went tumbling down the hill LOL.

@KrajciTom @ai6yr There’s a wax for every condition! In this case I’m on newer waxless Rossignols that have adhesive “skins” - they seem to be an advantage when the current base depth is zero. 😂

@ai6yr Surprisingly well! Better than it should be. I estimate I have about 60% of normal glide length. I grew up on the East Coast, so I have admittedly very low standards.
