Yesterday friends, Barb and Sharon, and I went on our usual Friday adventure. We parked in the Sable Visitors' Center parking lot and skied trail A. About three-quarters of the way around the trail, we skied through deep snow to the Sable boat ramp road and skied down the road to the boat ramp area. We were there the other day and decided to go back to have a picnic. Temperatures were in the mid-teens, but the wind was only around ten mph, which was the least amount in several days. It was also mostly cloudy, but we had peeks at the sun.
Here are a couple of photos I took on ski trail A....
We traversed over to the boat ramp road. If you look close in the photo below (or click on it to enlarge) you can see the boat ramp sign.
We noticed the other day that someone had cleaned the snow off one of the picnic tables. We wiped off the newly fallen snow.
The photo below shows our view from the picnic table. Sable Lake is beyond the evergreens. The Grand Sable Dunes are the other side of the lake.
Lunch was a spinach chicken salad with organic crackers and windmill cookies. I had not eaten windmill cookies in decades until last week. I bought a second package to enjoy them again.
My skies were buried in snow.
From my skies I got a couple photos of the dunes....
Getting ready to ski back to the car....
On our way....
There is a snow gauge along trail A. In this spot there is 19 inches on the ground. However, this area is vulnerable to a west/southwestt wind, which we have had a lot of lately. Thus, there are other areas where the snow is deeper.
Back to the car.
When I drove into town, I captured a couple of pictures from the top of the hill of the shore ice that broke off shore and floated north. The south/southwest winds broke the ice apart. North winds will crunch it back together.
