All it takes is a couple of inches of new white stuff and winter is all fresh again. And of course it helps when the temperatures don’t even make it out of single digits. The air crisp and the snow is perfect for skiing. We drove to the other side of the park, the undeveloped section on he west side of Kings Highway, and skied up along the ridge that runs almost all the way up o the fire department. We were the only human tracks, plenty of others out but no walkers, snowshoers or other cross-country nuts.
We skied in the park yesterday too. There still isn’t quite enough snow to cushion the trails in the woods so we’re going all civilized rather than bushwhacking. The Rochester Cross-Country Ski Foundation grooms trails on the golf course and we saw a few tiny signs for the “Nordic Center.” We can only image what that is or where it might be. The signs so few and far between that you might freeze trying to follow them. I should add that our style of X-Crountry skiing is worlds away from the upcoming Olympic variety of skate skiing. We trudge. They glide.

I used to say this in the ’80’s.
