I agree. I "used" to XC Ski also but now I'm too far south to get enough snow and too far north to enjoy warm weather. What was I thinking?
Wisconsin has one of the best XC-Ski slopes I've ever been on. I don't remember the name of the park, but it was near Black River Falls. Going downhill on XC skis on a trail in the woods is quite exhirating because XC Skis don't turn easily.
Thanks for bringing back those painful memories!
