Good for taking maps along! As they say, practice, practice, practice....
Lucky you (?) - roller-skiing in shorts sounds nice! ... or maybe not, since it really should be closer to winter (at least here in Sweden).
Roller-skiing season officially ended last night - first snow on the ground and roads frozen and sanded out of roller-skiing-ness.
Not quite enough snow for skiing yet - except in a few ski areas that have been working hard with artificial snow. They´ve actually had a ski track at Högbo Bruk for over a month now (only 700 m at first, but lately 1400 m).
Yep, and for a workout like this, it's actually more fun to have maps along if you don't have a training partner, otherwise, booooring.
Jealous of snow!! I think places in VT are skiing though too...
bah, hope it cools back on down, would be nice to ski the Craftsbury ECs in a few weeks!
Hmm, snow gone already but colder weather on the way (not right now, though). Last year I started skiing around Dec 15th* so there´s still time...
*) but snow was one month earlier (I was sick all of November)
