Skate Ski Workout

A gorgeous day for skate skiing up at Hatcher Pass along Archangel Valley Road.  I skied all the way to the closed gate and back, about 10 miles total.  Skate skiing is a whole lot like running and in many ways harder, but really fun on that nice downhill part from the gate to the Reed Lakes Trailhead.  It was so warm that I didn't even need my hat or gloves.  That doesn't happen very often in February.
