Cross Country Skiing

Praying it snows in the Northeast Kingdom, before we leave on 2/14.

I hope so .... I know right now that most of their trails are either closed or VERY scratchy!! Although, I don't believe that we have seen the last of the snow. Perhaps we should all get out on our road bikes for a couple of rides, that's a sure way of getting more snow LOL!!

Sigh, the Kingdom Trails are closed. There's predicted highs of 35 down here next weekend, so I probably will be out on my bike. Maybe that will work. Not much else to do up there, maybe hike, as I doubt there's enough snow even for snow shoeing. None of us are downhillers, so that's out. We are bringing our passports, so perhaps there's snow north of there?? Somehow, I doubt it.

There seems to be some sort of pocket that has some snow, while others have very little. In my area, I know that Bethel is very scarce, and so is the area near Twin Mtn, Gorham NH etc... It seems so strange this year, as these areas generally have lots of snow and have the ability to recover when warm weather makes an appearance. I keep telling myself that we aren't out of the woods yet with snow, so hopefully it's in the near future!!

Have fun on your bike today!! The roads here are pretty dry here as well, although a bit of ice on the edges. I've been saying all winter that I need to put the studded tires on my mtn bike, and it's time that I did! It would be tremendous riding today

So little snow here this winter we finally made the trip north into Canada. Four days of outstanding skiing and a bit of snowshoe time as well. Trails at Stokely Creek are outstanding.

Fresh fluffy snow falling today but we're going to need it to keep this up for a day or two to make a base. For now, it's back to gravel road running and the trainer.

Snow and lots of it, coming Friday. It will be great skiing around here. Can't wait.
Of course, I am going to Vermont next Thursday, and they are getting like 3 inches.

Ok, totally missed skiing in the perfect powder last Sunday, and I've been sick all week, but heading off to the Northeast Kingdom tomorrow. Hoping for some new adventures and decent snow. Will hopefully post with pictures.
