We have several areas where people XC ski around us, but can't say it's really big. Only one commercial XC area in the state, Enchanted Forest. Happy Thanksgiving!
The membership at Sovereign Lake Nordic is just a smidgen short of 3200!
I do a lot of my distance (just over 1000 km last winter) during the week when others have to work.
It's nice being retired, getting to pick the days, the time and avoiding the really busy weekend.
Just like cycling I'll set my pace and keep at it.
The plan for the coming season is a) take the action camera along on the brilliant winter days b) carry the bike computer on me to find out just how steep and fast those downhill sections are.
