The XC trails are now closed for the season. Thank you to everyone for a great season. Despite the lack of snow in the first half of the season all the shoveling and support from our trail pass members made it work. Next season will be great and we’re due now for an early season. Here is a little inspiration from a Long-board skier written more than 100 years ago to hold you over until the snow comes again.
THE SNOW-SHOE RACES
DOWN THE MOUNTAIN SIDE, LIKE BIRDS IN FLIGHT,
OR METEORS ON A STARRY NIGHT–
BENDING LOW TO MISS THE BREEZE,
FLYING PAST THE STATELY TREES,
RUSHING DOWN TO THE FLAT BELOW,
DANCING OVER THE “BEAUTIFUL SNOW”,
FALLING, ROLLING, SEEING STARS__
THEN HEAR THE LAUGHING CROWD’S HURRAHS.
AWAY DOWN THE VALLEYS, WHERE ORANGES GROW,
THEY MISS ALL THE FUN WE HAVE IN THE SNOW.
