X-C Skiing at Silver Star in the Canadian Okanogan

Five intrepid souls of the UW Faculty Auxiliary (Bernadette, Linda, Kathleen, Barbara and Donna) headed North for some x-country skiing at Silver Star, in the Canadian Okanagan.  Second day was kind of snowy with wind.  They could not quite escape the the civilization since the last episode of “Downton Abby” had them spell-bound. .  They skied at both the Sovereign Lakes trail system and the Silver Star trail system.  Weather has been variable – sun, clouds, snow, a little fog.  Lots of new snow up here.

Accommodations in a rented home have been fabulous!  Except for one dinner and lunch, we’ve prepared all of our own meals so we’ve eaten well.  Everything comes to an end, and so they were “dragged back to reality, kicking and screaming” as someone put it
