Mirror Lake in Lake Placid. After finding out that Denise and I both had a Friday off, we decided to take a last minute to trip up to Lake Placid for the weekend. We were able to find a nice apartment downtown and ended up having a great weekend. We took our dog, Yuki, along which complicated things a bit. He has a bit of separation anxiety when being in a foreign place. We were able to get out for a great opening daying of skate-skiing at Mt. Van Hoevenberg. There was a nice base of snow there and temps were perfect. Sunday was around 6 degrees in the morning, but I did get out for my morning run and Denise took Yuki for a nice walk around the lake. The drive home was a little tense. Snow was coming down pretty good and cars were flipped over on there roof. The weather had improved as we made our way home, but the usual 5 hour trip took about 7 this time. Still had a great weekend and am looking forward to others.
