Black Butte Ranch

It was cold and beautiful over the New Year's weekend at Black Butte (bee yoot, let's elevate our minds),  Ranch.  Had a great time with great company and great snow but man,  -4 degrees makes your toes numb.  The trip was a Nordic Club trip with 8 people.  All of them were seasoned skiers with years of experience.  Although I have downhill skied for many years I am a newbie at X-country skiing.
