Mark,

Mark I just returned from Silver Star and the skiing there and at Sovereign Lake is amazing right now. The groomer at Sovereign Lake told my friend it is a record year for snowfall so far, even after a slow start. |

All the cross country ski areas in the Vernon area have great skiing. You
don't have to go to as high elevation as Sovereign. There has been so much snow falling recently the only problem is having the groomers keep up with the new snow.

Someone asked where --- in New York State Van Hoevenberg will likely be open for a day or too, and Garnet Hill too. Maybe some stuff in the Tug Hill region. -- JT **************************** Remove "remove" to reply Visit http://www.jt10000.com **************************** |

While here in the east I'm driving several hours to use rock skis. The good thing nowadays is that it's so easy to check weather and snow conditions on the Web (and wonder why Prospect hasn't updated its Conditions page since last Saturday), and then cancel motel reservations on the Web -- and with irrepressible hope, make new reservations for later dates. The really good new things in Union county New Jersey a half hour from Manhattan are lots more smooth asphalt and _fan_ support. Like a few days ago doing V2 thru Elizabeth, some ladies are calling "Viva Viva". A few double poles and tucking it down Clinton Av into Newark, and the boyz are waving me over to ask me what it's about. I never got any fan response like that while skiing on snow in the Okanagan valley. My experience out on the streets southern NY - NJ - eastern PA is that there is no problem finding lots of people of lots of ages and lots of "non-nordic" ethnic backgrounds who instantly grasp the essential coolness of gliding around and using sticks to help. The problem with the future popularity of XC skiing is that we chose to do most of our skiing far away from most of our best fans. Ken |
