Fly and Ski, February 7/8

Ski conditions didn't look promising, so we decided to air out our wings. First flight of the year at Hemlock ski resort. There a paraglider pilot can take the chair up and fly, for a mere $8 per day! Unfortunately winds didn’t quite co-operate and after a first flight, it blew from the back. Time to pack up the glider and get out the skis for the afternoon. Coverage reminded me of mid-spring. A low-snow year. Sunday we hiked up to Woodside for a sledder. First time landing at Riverside for me.
