1st X-Country Ski Day

It snowed about 6 - 8 " today so I thought it would be a good chance for a quick ski thru the Middlesex Fells. It was a little bit on the thin side but the track was starting to take shape. The snow was very light & dry, perfect powder and just deep enough to float through. With all the foot traffic thru the Fells it will be 'groomed' before you know it. There's a pretty good downhill shot off the tower that I'll have to try once the base gets a bit deeper.


Later this evening we'll be heading north to Sunday River so we can do a Bday Ski Day for Pete C. Somehow the storm stayed south of SR but with all the cold air in place I'm sure the snowmaking has been epic. Hopefully we'll have a good video to try out here on the blog - come on sunshine ;-)

It's MA day at SR so we're going for a cheap Pre-XMas ski day. I'm 2 for 2 so far on the discounts - 3 for 3 if you count the x-country today. 'Don't pay full price' sounds like it may be the slogan for this season.



Here's a lame x-country ski video - I don't know if it's possible to have one that's watchable...
