Ski'd yesterday and today, pretty much the same distance, except today was a bit longer and with Paul on my back. That extra 40 pounds makes quite a difference! About 6 and 8 miles respectively, first hour all uphill followed by 25 minutes downhill cruising.
Anyway....I love living a 20 minute drive from a great XC ski area. This year I expect to do more XC skiing than backcountry simply because Paul is getting older now, and I'll need to take him to leave Tera in a quiet house on a few afternoons so she can get some much-needed sleep.
I'm definitely considering getting the chariot xc ski setup. We have a really nice backpack for the baby, but I would much rather pull than pack. In the future, after the kids are all grown up, I envision using it then as a pulk to get our gear to snow camps and ski camps or ice-fishing or something like that.
