Last week in Anchorage Stuey really liked the skate skiing. Nora and I used the more traditional cross country gear. As always in Anchorage the trails were immaculately groomed. Nora calls the set track grooves for the classic skis the 'train tracks'. And that is about right! Hard to go wrong when the ski will not move sideways. You are in the train tracks. Nora would also get furious when Stuey would skate over the set tracks. 'Stuey you are messing up the tracks!' she'd yell. I actually know for a fact that this is a pet peeve for a lot of Anchorage XC skiers who prefer classic to skate.
When I'm on the groomed trails in Anchorage I always feel like I am on the freeway. Some of the trails are even lit up at night. All the trees close to the trails make it seem like you are going really fast. Ripping down the freeway! Patrick
