Skiing at Oka National Park

On Saturday Jan. 29 Forest and I ventured back to Oka, this time to go skiing.  Thankfully, everyone was fully clothed this time. When we arrived we rented skis and then went for about 5 miles before stopping to have lunch.  After lunch we went another four miles and then decided to call it a day.  We had a really great time sking (apart from my wipeout down one of the hills) the trails were beautiful and the weather was great.  A huge ice slide was set up in the park and both Forest and I decided to give it a whirl before we left.  It looked kind of like a death trap.  It reminded me of one of those slides that you would see at a fair and then ride down racing your friends except this one was covered in ice.  Instead of riding down on nice potato sacks we were given little plastic squares that looked like they might fall apart.  It was pretty fun but a little scary.

He survived!

People would wear these and then put their kids in the back.  I tried to talk Forest into wearing one of these and pulling me behind him.

  2. I just rediscovered your blog. Man, I want to go on an ice slide next winter! But I'm not going to think about snow for the next long while.
