When you don't have skis...
Wanted to cross-country ski last night, but my friend doesn't own skis. So we grabbed the bikes instead. Had a great time. The photo below shows the ATV / snowmobile route that we took. We also hit our local jump trail, which was a lot of work to pedal down as none of the snow there had been packed. Good times!

I was half-expecting a photo of your friend on an MTB, pulling you on skis...

Skiers on the paths/trails are not that unusual here? 'Course, it was made clear 'round these parts a while back that there are no bike paths/trails. They're all called "multi-use". Some of the state rec trails even allow snowmobiles, but there's obviously some controversy about that.

Hah! You choose wrongly in that second vid. The plow guy didn't veer an inch for you, did he?
