Saturday seemed like a good day for skiing. It had warmed up to a cozy temperature of roughly -6°C, and snow was falling. I hadn't skied at Pike Lake in a long time, and it's actually quite a nice place. It's also relatively close, which is especially good on a day with snowfall making travel a bit more difficult.



The beach is a bit snow-covered

The ice fishing people were out on the lake. A few days with lows below -18°C presumably thickened the ice, but now the weather was more comfortable.

No one picnicing, for some reason

Google Earth has a summer photo, the park is more white than green this time of year. You can see that little out-and-back spur where I took off the skis and walked up the steep hill, and climbed the observation tower. It's not so easy climbing that hill in the snow.
