We had been planning an skiing/outdoor adventure weekend up on the North Shore for a while. As if finally approached I was dismayed to see forecasts of -5 degree highs, with -35 degree windchills. During the day. But the North Shore worked it's magic once again. We stayed in the Sea Villas at Lutsen, with the above view out the window. The lake was steaming and all the rocks looked like they were wearing stocking caps. The wood burning stove and the sun through the windows had us all in t-shirts while we were inside. And we did put on many layers and get out each day for a ski. The cold cut out any kind of glide, which made it all that much easier for Eli to ski up hills, and the nice controlled downhill at the end of our ski on our last day had him declaring, "That was GREAT!!"
It was a nice reminder that you can enjoy the outdoors even in these crazy low temperatures. For a short while, when you have a fire waiting for you.
