Dashing through the snow

The Santa of the slopes came early this year and I am now the proud possessor of a set of cross-country ski equipment. Two of the brothers and I went out to the groomed course on the Colby campus yesterday and got in a hour plus on the skis. (I was annoying enough to do another entire loop after they went back to the car, but fergoodnessakes, I hadn't even gotten up a sweat yet!) The campus ski area is close enough to walk to, if I wanted, and if I stay on the groomed trails, I'm not likely to get too lost.
