Boyd was dressed super warm, as you can see below, but it wasn't very cold when we left our house. I would say the temperature was hovering around 20 degrees. However, when we got out on the trail that parallels the power lines (hence the name "Powerline Pass") the wind picked up in the valley and just blew us all over the place. Luckily the Chariot keeps the wind out and Boyd was fine, but D and I got the brunt of it. We managed to stick it out for an hour or so, which is a lot less than we would have liked - we used to ski for 2-3 hours straight, pre-baby!
I really love my Skhoop skirts - the one I'm wearing here is a lighter-weight version (since it was above 20 degrees) and I have the sides zipped up a bit to account for the range of motion when skiing.
Thankfully D did all the Chariot-pulling on this excursion and I got to ski baby-free. It's a pretty strenuous workout to pull the Chariot plus a 27 pound toddler and his gear!
Boyd's mitts are a new purchase. They're Stonz toddler mittens that go all the way up past his elbows - fleece-lined with cinches at the wrist and bottom. They stay on so much better than regular gloves and are used when we're going to be out in the cold for a longer length of time.
You can see all of Anchorage from up here! Amazing views.
