1. Different Skis and yes, it makes a big difference.

2. Cross Country skiing sucks. Lets drive to the middle of nowhere and glide about in the wilderness like chumps!

Cross Country skiers are like the cyclists of the snow. Just a menace to society.

I'll maintain my outdoor wilderness pursuits to my strong points which consist of a considerable fire in the Lodge and a glass of nice Whiskey, Bourbon or Brandy, maybe even a nice cigar.

Snow: wonderful and beautiful to look at just so long as you're stuck out in it, covered by it and someone else is shoveling it.

Cross Country is so boring that all you can think about is how tired you are.


I love snow. Ice can #### off if it's not in a rink. My gripe is the low sun and dirty windows making it hard to see sometimes.

Genuinely good gripe. I hate that crap too. Especially when the snow is just starting to melt and coats your windshield.

With all that melt today there could be a lot of ice hiding under fresh snow. Back deck is already glazed up nice.
