Trip Report

Big Lake turned into Gold Lake. With just the two of us and the probability that the the Santiam would present bigger driving problems we adjusted. This was William’s first attempt at cross country skiing and I am working on rebuilding my own skills. With 24 inches of new snow we had a great time. We took a few tumbles. His poles were way to long. They must have thought he was racing. Tons of people at the snow park.
