Cross Country Skiing

[Jolt]

Well, over a foot of new snow, although with a bit of rain last night, it has definitely become very heavy. Home from work today because of schools everywhere being cancelled, but will have to wait for the snow to settle a bit... extremely heavy at this point. However, I'm excited to see it and thinking about buying some back country ski's.

Lucky you to have good snow! Here in York County it has been raining all day today so we have puddles and slush and yuck; about three inches of snow fell yesterday where I am but it's mostly gone now. Was going to do the group run from the Y this evening but it doesn't sound too appealing in this weather, will probably swim instead (once the swim team practices are done for the night...). Hoping for some decent snow this winter to learn to XC ski--got all the equipment last year (good Craigslist find) and then didn't even get to use it!

Jolt... I will admit that it has been raining/snow here all day as well. Temps are pretty warm, so there is a bit of slush, but I would expect that with the warmer temps. here's to hoping that you receive some snow as well... can't wait to get out on ski's!!!

12plus inches so far and more tonight!! Woot woot. Hope to head to the backcountry this weekend.

Solo, I trust you aren't in Denver right now? We got a little snow last week and I've heard forecasts of only 1" - 4" tonight and tomorrow. Not enough to XC or snow shoe but too much to mountain bike

Yes I am in Denver..but where DH and I go backcountry skiing they got 12 inches over the last 24 hours and more is on the way. :-) I have been keeping an eye on certain web cams and the road has been covered in snow. :-) Now as long as my back behaves I will be good to go.

We got our first real storm since an early storm in October. We've had well over 2 feet of snow at my house. All of the ski areas finally opened. I'm going to try to go XC skiing today if the wind calms down. Yay!

We are getting a little snow on XMas, but not enough to ski. There was a big storm predicted for Thursday, but now it looks like it's going to be too warm. While I appreciate the weather not messing up my work schedule, I really want to ski .
