    @Dr Crank, pretty sure that area is where Scott Johnston of Uphill Athlete/Evoke Endurance fame resides. It's a hot bed for nordic skiing due to a fairly extensive trail network. Would check out that they're training well with the wealth of knowledge around

    Alkasqwalik uses Sam Naney @ Uphill I believe.
    Anyway, it’s the largest cross country skiing network in North America with over 200 km of connected trails so it attracted a couple Olympic athletes a whole bunch of years ago and it took off from there.
    Well maybe I'm the faggot America

    Nice dog. I need to get mine out more.

    I had the pleasure of skiing with my wife this morning. Made it out right after the groomer finished and the sun even showed up for a bit.

    I saw a post somewhere recently that said skate is only about 30% faster than classic (and sometimes as low as 5% faster depending on conditions/terrain).

    That just tells me I'm absolute ass at classic skiing, because I'd say I go at least twice as fast on skate skis--and I'm not claiming to be great at skating either.

    A big part of that is motivation...I just can't convince myself to work hard on classic skis. Casual striding is fine to the level of a light jog...but I can't make myself "run" or double pole for very long before I just give up. I'm OK with that though as when I'm on classic skis it is more about just getting out there and exploring/enjoying the outdoors. Probably doesn't help using wider/heavier waxless skis...never been on properly-fit classic skis with kick wax.

    The speed comes much more naturally to me on skate skis. They force the motivation for a minimum level of effort--either you are skating, or you're not moving. The bare minimum effort is much higher, so even if I am not trying to push myself hard, my average speed feels much higher.

    A few more.

    I managed to trash my skate skis so I think that means it is time for an upgrade. For the time being I'm working on my classic technique.

    going nordic = going ghay?

    I had a pair of Fischer crowns classics with a fluorescent orange base. With the right light, they made the track glow under my stride. Those top sheets on a freestyle ski would be a quick reminder to keep my head up on our up-and-down tracks!

    Finally a legitimately cold winter day, snow was surprisingly fast even at a 5 degree air temperature.
    Felt good to have cold feet for a change.
