Barry Diceman & Pete MacLoghlin skied a 15 km loop on this absolutely ideal day for skiing, powder snow with fast tracks, sun, blue skies & a cool -15 C. We skied up Kawartha, bottom 2 photos, to Wolf & continued north on Kawartha. Barry is standing beside the log frame shelter built for the annual KNSC ski race from Apsley in the 1970 & 80’s that is 100 meters north of the Owl junction. Next 2 photos show the powder snow on N.Kawartha as we skied towards Otter, where Barry is standing in front of the red ribbon closing off Kawartha to the north of Otter. Skied across Otter, photos of the trail crossing the big beaver dam gully & the rocky shoreline of the spectacular beaver pond, to Owl & up to the Tanney cabin. From Tanney skied down Kenner to Beaver, top photo taken at the Bullrush Lk lookout, then across Beaver to the chalet. Kenner was a blast to ski with a very fast track & Barry left me far behind with a surge of adrenalin as he relived his racing days skiing down from Wolf to the woods where he had to slow down as the trail narrows with curves to negotiate as you ski up & down the many gullies!
