Stoney Swamp by the light of the...

 

I went out for a ski in the greenbelt this evening. Well it ain't green these days and won't be for the next few months. It is amazing how much ambient light there is in the woods. Clouds are blocking out the moon and yet you can ski without a headlight (It helps to know where you are going!). I did a short loop and then went off trail for a bit where the snow was waist deep. The trails are not as good as Gatineau Park, the tracks are not level and the snow is soft and your poles go right through it. That said it is 5 minutes from home and free so no complaints from this guy.
