Paging Jesse 2x Not me, but I know there are a couple members here cross country (Nordic) ski in the Metro area and one up on The Range - I'll let them raise their hand if they want. Member Lee'sdad posted recently that said he/she was roller skiing over at Hyland Park in west Bloomington. Both my son's ski and have been actively involved in the sport ever since middle school and now post-college. It's the first year in about 10 years they haven't traveled to West Yellowstone to kick-off the season for some on snow training/racing.
I feel like i should know who you are if you know i exist. Got out the old skis to wax them this afternoon. Ill most likely get a season pass to Giants Ridge this year because the conditions are getting awesome up here. Im not fast or great at skiing, I classic ski 80% of the time.
In my opinion, you are not allowed to use the phrase "back in the day" yet. I believe I've heard you've been out on the ski trails a few times this season. The Birkie is coming-up in just over a week!! Could we holdout some hope to some day to see you in the Birkie in the future?
i've been out on lake calhoun and harriet and am gonna check out the trails at ft. snelling this weekend.
It should be great spring skiing on the metro area trails. If you're looking for options, try Theo Worth or Battle Creek near 3M in St Paul.
thanks for the tips, sadly i'm just a weekend skiier so the days are numbered for me, next year definitely picking up a pass for all the trails though.
