Getting out above this dismal heavy cloud we went to Sovereign Lake to go cross-country skiing. It was beautiful blue skies and warm temperatures. I enjoyed sunglasses and light clothing for the first time in a while! Cross-country skiing is new to our family, but super easy to learn. It's totally different from downhill. At the Nordic Centre everybody's happy and smiling, enjoying a winter wonderland. We rent our equipment at the day lodge, and prices are very affordable. We had a quick run down from Grandpa Stan. I would definitely suggest booking a lesson or two just to get going. It makes a lot less work for yourself if you know how to get going. This is a sport that anyone can try. See pictures of Grandpa Stan, he is 73 and has Baby Jessica on his back! Gillian, who is eight this year, started last year and is already a star. There are many families out there with young children on skis or towing babies in sleds or just wandering around enjoying the sun. I would suggest to anybody to go try the sport or go up there and enjoy how pretty it is on the mountain. If you just want to walk try snowshoeing, they have tons of snowshoe trails and rentals are not expensive. Hope that you try a new winter sport and find some blue sky like we did!
