Spent the morning chasing (in my car) the Canadian Ski Marathon trail. Took a few photos along the way. At first light it was brutally cold but by mid-day it was quite pleasant. This photo was at an unofficial pit stop - of which there are many. The trail passes over a large number of farmers property - right up to their houses (with permission) - and the locals set up a water station and greet the 2000+ skiers. As this is the 40th year for the CSM I guess it's well entrenched in the local community and they make a day of it. At the official pit stops organizers have hot food, fires, ski waxing stations and lots of friendly faces (as well as buses home if you've had enough). Enough to make you want to stop sking and spend the afternoon - but there's a time cutoff to make so the skiers make short stops and then ski on.
