Squeak, squeak, squeak

I got out for a short ski at Nine Mile tonight after my work in Eau Claire was completed. That sounds odd if you know Wisconsin geography but I have to speak at a training in Wausau tomorrow. It was weird being the only person at Nine Mile. I don't think I've ever experienced that before. The snow was slow and that wasn't helped by me not having time to wax appropriately. However, I love how the snow squeaks when it is below 0. I think the actual temp was about -6 with the windchill in the -20s. It wasn't too bad though until I was done and packing up my skis. I didn't really linger outside as I was starting to feel the cold then.
