Cross Country Skiing

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.

Sounds like a great trip Crankin... definitely let us know how it is!

We didn't receive as much snow as you, but what we did receive was extremely dry... so absolutely no glide at all. But I'm excited that we did get some to cover of the spots that were very thin. Got out Sunday, Monday and today.. todays conditionds were better. The temps have been a bit warmer, so the melting/freezing action is helping to put moisture back in the snow.

Hope you have a great trip and are feeling better

We've had such little snow here in the Twin Cities this winter and what little we've had always seems to be preceded or followed by freezing rain and/or sleet. Bleck. Up north is a different story though and we are headed up to the North Shore of Lake Superior for what should be a glorious extended weekend of nordic skiing!
