Ski plane skiing today

Went skiing with the plane today and did laps on both sides of the lake today. It was negative 8F at the airport this am. COLD!!! The day warmed up fairly quick like and we ended up getting in about 3500′ skied vertical on our feet.

We had the place all to ourselves until some sled heads arrived and did donuts all around the plane… #-o

Days end…a few ski runs in the background. Went to the highest point here 3 times on this side of the lake. Pretty easy once the skin track was in.

Ended up having to hand prop the 520/MT Prop… #-o That was a first… [-o< Think I need a new solenoid… :?:
I have some great pics of the hand propping to post in a bit. They are just not on my camera.

Stay tuned…

It was a good day!
