Double Malans Peak on snow packed single track.  Haven't done a double in a while, but seems it wasn't that long ago that I was running in winter conditons up there, where did the year go? Time is flying way too fast.  Wasn't planning a double, but the first one was so enjoyable and my legs felt great (no ITB/hip issues at all), I hit the bottom, tunred around and headed back up. Second lap felt better than the first. Got dark on the way up, just me, snow covered pines and an almost full moon, stunning.  Glad I tucked a light in my pocket, the second descent had some refrozen sections, particularly Taylor Canyon, and was trecherous in a few places.

Sounds awesome! Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about summer on my way up Wire a few weeks ago.

Nice double.

Nice double style...your pic inspired me to run in the snow in shorts today...was great actually...dont realize how much heat the running tights create until their off.

Thanks! Glad I could inspire G. Shorts are the rule unless its over knee deep or below 20 degrees. Well...as rules go for me, which means kinda most of the time.
