Cross country skiing?

[Petrov]

Any of you do XC skiing? Classic nordic or skating?

Southerners move on we are talking about doing weird things that involve snow and long pieces of wood.

Do both and a great workout. Typically not much snow in southern NM so generally wind up traveling to SW Colorado to ski. In most years they have a good snowpack although this year its been dry. They have several good places to ski with groomed trails for both classic and skate. Great cross training for cycling.

I live 30 minutes away from a place that has 12 miles of groomed XC trails. it is basically a mini valley with LOTS of steep ascents and descents on both sides, fun and challenging.
If you want you can spend the day climbing up, doing loops or doing tight and slow downhill slide.

I loved to do it when I used to live in northern Indiana. It was especially enjoyable while doing it at night - especially with a bright moon. It was almost like going in the daytime.

Haven't been able to go this year since it has been dry and warm. Flip side is that we have had very good cycling weather.
