I waited two days after the recent rain, melt and freeze cycle to ski. Every local Nordic ski area had grooming challenges, so I gave them extra time to make ‘frozen granular” out of ice and mix in Saturday’s two-inch snowfall. Sunday morning, I read snow reports and picked my area.
I hadn’t made my way up to Bear Notch Ski Touring this year. When I read the report, I decided to go there. I know the Garland brothers had been working hard on their network to make it skiable for all. Sunday was the day to “make a Bear Notch believer” out of me.
