3/23/2022 0 Comments Cross Country SkiingSpring Break in Colorado is not the warm sunny kind of weather that other places in the US experience. Our Spring Breaks are generally filled with skiing and other cold weather sports. We headed up to the Western Slope to spend the day at Frisco Nordic Center. My spirit resonates more with cross country skiing than with downhill skiing. I've never been an adrenaline junkie. I love outdoor endurance sports where I get to explore new places. That is what I get from cross country skiing. It is another form of moving meditation for me. Gravity is not always on your side like it is with downhill skiing. It is refreshing and invigorating and fun. It's no surprise that I woke up at home this morning and immediately started searching for the best places in the world to cross country ski and learn more about technique. I think I'll start by exploring as many places for nordic skiing in our state first and then venture out to places like Montana and maybe even one day Norway, Sweden, and Austria. More locally... Closer to our homebase is Mueller State Park which can provide excellent xc ski conditions after a big snow. I trekked up last weekend on my own to kick off Spring Break. The sun was out and the snow was melting fast but I caught it just in time!
