Old Man Winter

If you live outside of Alaska, you are probably like most the country and endured the early winter without a lot of snow. Finally, we have a base of 4 inches, but in my opinion, it's not enough. Last week, we took a two and half hour drive, discovered a new area, and XC-skied. I believe that living in any climate (ie not living in a climated-controlled bubble), you need to embrace that climate...
