After the weekend’s record snow, there is a lot to ski on in the park. I went out this morning to ski around.

The snowy park is like a cocoon of nature surrounded by the city. You can see buildings peeking over the trees, but inside the trees is deep, white solitude.

I carried my skis and poles out to the corner and across the walk. I stepped off the sidewalk and strapped them on and off I went.

I did a few laps around probably did just a few kilometres and enjoyed it immensely.

I tried to take some pictures of myself skiing, but it is difficult to ski back into the frame after setting the timer when you don’t really have a stable surface and it gives only 12 seconds.

A few times I fell over in my rush to get in front of the camera.
