Just another term for x country skiing. Generally any kind of "free heel" skiing. I think it just takes less time to type Nordic, so I use it.
Got our reservation made at the B and B we usually stay at. We have to leave a bit later than our friends, as DH has to get out of the city and home, pack, and I am working a bit later than usual this Friday. We are targeting to leave at 4, and hope we don't hit all of the ski traffic going up north for downhill. We will be skiing at Bretton Woods, most likely, at the Mt. Washington Resort. They have excellent grooming, wide trails, and a variety of terrain. However, one of the restaurants at the hotel has the best onion rings I've ever had... let's just say that you could not continue skiing after eating these onion rings! I haven't had them in 2 years, but we shall see if we can resist.
