Roberts Farm Preserve

Our community is so fortunate to have these trails available to us throughout the year.  In the winter they are groomed to perfection and are so much fun to ski.  And, just look at that view!

Snowy Biathlon

You had to be tough to compete in this morning's biathlon at Roberts Farm...brrrr!  It was bitterly cold, windy, and snowing like crazy.  By the time we finished, we were all encased in snow!  Regardless of the weather, there were smiles on everyone's faces as we skied, shot, and skied some more through the beautiful trails.  My younger son DOMINATED the 3x1k, while our daughters led the way for the females, and I got to win that race because I was the only adult who raced in it!

A few days, and a couple of weeks early...

But, I love that they thought of us while we were at work.  They were home because it's snowing again!

Mid-Winter Classic 10 Miler


Yes, you read that right.  This morning we ran a 10 mile race!  Neither of us was really prepared, although we had hoped that all the skiing would help us push through.  It helped him - he finished first for males under 20!  Awesome job!!  Me? I struggled, a lot, but did managed to beat my 2 hour goal time, so I'm satisfied...and sore...and tired.  Whew!  10 miles is a long way!!  The best part of today was that a special childhood friend was there and I was so surprised and extremely happy to see her.

"Just windy enough to keep the bugs down!"

The boys' Nordic meet at Black Mountain was cancelled today due to extremely cold temperatures and extremely windy conditions.  That didn't keep the girls off the slopes though.  They skied and skied and skied some more!

Lunchtime Ski

We are so lucky to have access to these beautiful trails, close enough to the office that we can scoot over and enjoy the fresh powder on our lunch break!
