I think this is going to be the year I finally try it...there's a place a couple towns over that sounds like a good one to start out at.

I am also looking forward to XC ski season. DH and I have dreams of going to Yellowstone NP and doing some backcountry XC skiing there. How cool would it be to ski around some Bison and thermal features in winter.

Trek-chick, that sounds fabulous. I'm here in Michigan too, wonder when we'll get our first snow. Where do you ski in Michigan?

Might be skiing tomorrow. Already 2 inches on the ground. I'll have to go to conservation land trails, but, hey better than nothing.

We're still getting rain in this part of the state, but maybe there will be a blanket of white in the morning...skis are waiting, and ski boots have been brought to the front of the closet.

I went to grad school in Waltham, and took up XC skiing while I was there. If memory serves, there are tons of great trails to ski on up around Concord -- at least there were, oh, 20-plus years ago

I like to XC ski at Boyne and add in some downhill too. Originally Posted by surgtech1956

Locally, we usually go to Stoney Creek Metro Park (mountain bike trails) but, have to wait forever for decent snow on the trails.
We just got back from hunting up North and checked out Silver Valley and the Corsair XC ski trail system. That one is on the list for this coming season for sure.
