It has been quite a good year for cross-country skiing with one final hurrah of fresh powder in the middle of March. Now of course we are in the middle of the great melt with the rest of the week predicted to be above freezing. I feel very lucky to have this nice long stretch of open space for skiing any time I please. It isn't exactly quiet as the rumble from Hunt Club is ever present but it feels quite private as there is rarely anyone else about.
