jhetleyWe have achieved Egress. Two cars, driveway, sidewalk, front steps, back steps. I've even scattered grit on the front porch, where last summer's new deck paint has turned into a Frictionless Surface suitable for Physics 145 lab experiments.
I may load the cross-country skis into one of those (AWD, ABS) cars and head out to the City Forest, after allowing a decent interval for the City to plow the parking lot and for some enthusiastic Person Younger Than Me to break trail.
Among other "may" things for this winter, I may use Elder Son's skis* when I expect prepared trails, like up at the University Forest. They're a bit shorter than mine, narrower, and therefore faster. They also have more of their "fishscale" pattern still remaining on the bottom...
(My no-wax skis are about ten or fifteen years old and showing considerable wear. The waxable skis are more like thirty-five or forty years old, laminated wood, and probably belong in an antique shop for potential ski lodge decor...)
*Elder Son left them behind when moving out to San Francisco, which sorta makes them fair game.
