Did my first backcountry skiing today. Thanks to plenty of recent snowfall, I started almost literally in my backyard.

Being good at going down will take a loooong time, I barely managed the local trails and logging roads.

Now that we actually have some snow (not much but there were 3 fresh inches overnight) in Colorado, I’m in a winter mode mood. #FootpathFriday #XCskiing #backcountryski #colorado

It’s called “fashion”. Look it up. #backcountryski #dork

No #running today, instead I went on a short #SkiTour with my wife up our "house mountain" #Patscherkofel.

Nothing too fancy, just a nice day outdoors without the usual crowds that populate the ski resorts.

And also a nice test for my new #Garmin #ForeRunner955, which I got for Xmas 😎 Unfortunately, it didn't record the ascent correctly (only 479m instead of the ca 1200m). Need to find out why before I use it for #TrailRunning

I am very happy with the OAC XCD GT 160 forest skis. #skiing #backcountryski #winter #snow
