Curious, how was your season last year? Here on the eastern side of Canada we've been having a very cold and very snowy winter. A few weeks of -20 and below weather.
Our snow last year was nearly non existent if I remember correctly. Makes me curious how much our seasons might just differ in general with the new ocean patterns.
I also don't do cross country skiing, so I'd be curious to know how your ski patterns end up looking so curved, as opposed to both skis on the ground and straight in your photo. The patterns you've made over the lake there are mesmerizing.
