This winter has been a roller coaster of early snow, rains that washed it away and then snow again. Midway into February, ski conditions are feeling like late March — soft snow and brown patches.

Cross-country skiers like me are scrambling to get our skiing in before it all goes away. In the back of our Nordic brains is a list of places we want to ski before the season ends. Sometimes, we get to all of them, but many times, the list is left half-finished. In my mind, I’m checking off my ski trail boxes, one by one.
