School and Jon's basketball practices started back up on Tuesday, January 3rd. Along with that, cross country skiing started up for me. I am co-coaching the middle school cross country ski team. We have 20 kids out for the team. There are all different levels from experienced to never been on skis before. It's a good things there's two of us.
The begin of the week started off cold. Wednesday, after school, it was -22 with windchill. We did not go skiing that day. Instead, we stayed inside and learned how to wax our skis. Late Friday night, the snow hit. It snowed throughout Saturday and into Sunday. In fact, it is still snowing as I am typing this. However, the clouds are clearing and the mountains are finally peaking through.
On Saturday, we drove down to Homer for Jon's team's basketball game. They lost by 8. The roads were not good. They were fairly icy and there was plenty of wind and snow to make conditions not very ideal. Today (Sunday) we were able to get outside. The temps warmed up to 12 degrees. So, with all the snow, we snowshoed down to the beach. We have noticed that the days are indeed getting longer. It is a great feeling!
