Skiing is great! 17 km groomed last night.

Open at 9 am. The temperature at 6:30 am is -5º. The forecast high for today is 4º. We did have a dusting of snow overnight.

Ian groomed the low trails, Turkey, Woodcock, Snow Goose, Grouse, Goshawk, and Peregrine. And Jon was on the snow machine on the Chickadee. Upper and Middle Blue Jay were groomed earlier this week.

Yesterday was Sverre’s day to ski all the trails. Added his name to the board.

And another poem by Wendell Berry this time.

The Peace of Wild Things by Wendell Berry

When despair for the world grows in me

and I wake in the night at the least sound

in fear of what my life and my children’s lives might be,

I go and lie down where the wood drake

rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds.

I come into the peace of wild things

who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief.

I come into the presence of still water,

And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light.

For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
