Still skiing on the toll road

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and it will be my tenth day on snow. With Lucy gone, and Jon's family unable to travel, it will be a quiet - and a little bit lonely - Thanksgiving day.

Back in my youth, I always looked forward to the massive amounts of football you could watch on TV on this holiday weekend. Others look forward to Black Friday sales. But with the advent of live streaming in the past decade, I look forward to the start of the nordic and biathlon World Cups.

Something else to brighten up the day is the three inches of new snow forecast for Thanksgiving, and the opening of Mount Hoevenberg on Friday for cross country skiing.
