It was heaven on the cross country ski trails in the Carleton Arb yesterday morning. The college has groomed some trails for skate-skiing in the Upper Arb and some for Nordic skiing in the Lower Arb. And of course, there are many places to go off the groomed trails.
Like many people in Northfield fortunate to live adjacent to one of our fabulous City parks, those of us in the Valley Pond Townhome Association can go out our back doors and snowshoe and ski around Hidden Valley Park.
Where does one purchase used cross country skis near here?
Clarice, I would start with Gear Resource which just opened recently in downtown Northfield. If they don’t have them, they probably would have good suggestions. I blogged about them here.
Otherwise, Play It Again Sports has XCS equipment.
Thanks, Griff. I have tried both places, unsuccessfully, but have not given up hope! Merry Christmas!
P.S There is one pair at Gear Resource, if anyone is looking. (Just too small for us.)
Clarice- You might check with Tom down at Fit to be Tri’d, right next to Blue Monday. He maintains skis, and might have or know of someone who has a set like you are looking for.
Thanks, John! I finally found a bunch at Play It Again Sports in Eagan.
