April 3 2014 - Spring skiing!

Barry Diceman & Pete MacLoghlin took advantage of this gorgeous spring day for another ski as the season winds down . Barry has skied over 550 km to date & hopes to keep counting! This year the skiing has been sensational. As Barry said today “ after almost every ski we kept repeating this was the best ski yet”. We met Peter Tiesma & Conrad Hill taking down their trail signs that are posted at every intersection. The maps are laminated & the porcupines & bears will demolish them as they like the taste of the glue! On Tuesday we met a Fisher scampering up Trillium, later just ahead of us a deer crossed Kawartha in full flight  Barry & Pete introduced Conrad & Peter to lunch at Honey’s in downtown Big Cedar.
