My Christmas present from my parents this year was a pair of cross country skis. I haven’t felt in much of a rush to find some, though, given that none of the places around here even opened this year due to the warm weather and total lack of snow. (I promise, eventually I’ll stop griping and get over it. :-))
Kevin and I took our downhill skis in for a pre-Whistler tuning at REI though, and they had cross country gear on sale for 70%. I now have these lovely skis!! I love them — here’s hoping for colder weather next year. 🙂
