Don't try to tell me that there isn't at least one skier, boarder or sledder among the rover drivers.

Bonus points for the white powder they made with the abrasion tool (left of center, where the tracks meet the rocks). Pico Turquino may not be good enough for certain geologists, but some people know how to have fun on powder that no one has carved in 3 billion years.

Better late than never, a mission update.... I see that it's planning date was November 18, but released a few hours ago...
