Team NordicSkiRacer's Zibgy Zlobicki, Tony Percha, Doug Cornell, and Cyril Grum at Island Lake Recreation Area, testing the new pavement. Conclusion? The section to Kent Lake is a 5; the rest of the repaving is only a 3.
For many, the Back Forty was our favorite trail. Long and cruisey on the hills with a couple of challenging ones and then there is the perfect training hill, Interval Hill. Well, after many years of absence, the Back Forty is back!
I enjoyed that Alternative Waxing article, and I have my own story to tell...
We have purchased the business from Dick Fultz and look forward to carrying on his 34-year presence in the Grayling community. It will be our goal to continue the customer service the Nordic skiing community has come to expect from Dick and his staff.
Glenn Goodman and Robin Luce experimented with non-traditional "waxes" in the days leading up to the Nordic Fest Season Opener Race and made some interesting discoveries...

Valley Spur: Lake effect snow cycles are kicking in now. We've received 6" of snow. There is not enough snow to groom as of yet. Also deer season ends this weekend which opens things up for us. Rock skiing if you're careful is doable.
