First day after Tuesday's back disaster that I felt strong enough to do something. Still worried about my SI joint, I decided to ski instead of run. Since we got some snow this week, I decided to head to SR 65 by Little Dell. Tried skating first, but the new snow wasn't packed down enough to make conditions very good. Turned around after 5 minutes or so and went back to the car and switched to classic skis. Went up to "Original Trail" sign and turned around. I wanted to go all the way to the top of Big Mountain, but I had to leave for St. George and ran out of time. Trail was pretty soft, but someone else had broken a classic trail up to my turnaround point, so it was great. There was about a half-mile stretch where a moose had also found the trailbreaking helpful and had weaved in and out of the ski tracks, but other than that the trail was pretty pristine.
Injury report: Back didn't bother me skiing, although it was tight afterward. (Driving 4 hours to St. George didn't help.)
