Cross-country skiing 1:30:00 [3]
Weekend in Piedmont near Saint-Saveur so went to do some old school skiing at Viking!
Clubhouse has not changed a bit, still has great old posters up and pictures of Jackrabbit and Chris Blanchard.
Conditions would have meant really tricky waxing so skated. Grooming wasn't bad, except I used good poles and they pushed through the top layer most times and meant for a really frustrating ski. But, weather and trees were nice. Followed by great coffee at Luckys in Morin Heights.
Viking was at one time one of the strongest clubs in the country, doing a wee bit of research they won the Best Club at COCs, an award that seems to have vanished (Ottawa probably received it too often). I mostly remember Orienteering there in the summer through CIOR, there are some serious swamps, but some open woods and some major moose.
