First ski

We took our first ski of the season today. It's not particularly early or late to be starting, but it felt good. 

The snow was much better than I expected. Sometimes, early in the season, it can can be wet or crusty. Today the snow was fairly dry. 

It's nice to be out in the blue sky and trees and white snow. You could paint it all in a handful of colors. The shadows in the tracks of deer, rabbit, fox, and moose add some grey to the picture.

It's nice to be out again, away from the worries of the world.
