Cross country skiing

With most of the day available before my social connections, I got out my skiis, fishscale ones since they are slower and less likely to break. My beautiful wood ones - Asnes from Norway, are still packed in my storage locker in Minneapolis. I made it 100 yards down the trail before I turned around and went back for my AFO. In ungroomed trails my left ankle rolls a lot. Even with my AFO, keeping two long sticks pointed parallel to each other is difficult. This is more walking on skiis than skiing. I can't do the classic push off and glide anymore. The Fitbit registers about 30% less distance than actually covered, probably because of some minimal glide and no heel strike registering a step.
Managed not to fall, although had to plant the ski pole on the left side numerous times to keep from toppling that way.  The first year I lived here I managed to ski quite a few times, that led to my obsession to keeping branches and logs off the trails
