It is a great gift to the community. The beauty of the Arb attracts more than skiers to the trail. Runners, walkers and dog walkers also use the trails, which, unfortunately, creates an issue for the skiers....foot prints and doggie doo in the middle of the trail. So, I have two requests for the non-skiing users. One is obvious, pick up the doggie doo. The other is to walk as far to one side of the trail as possible, not down the middle and never directly on the parallel ski tracks. This will make the use of the arb and all it has to offer a pleasant experience for all.

Sam, glad you chimed in. I've corrected the text above to read "... remembered hearing about the store." Thanks, Lisa.

Sam, glad you chimed in. I’ve corrected the text above to read “… remembered hearing about the store.”

Just one small correction, Griff: I don't "remember" the store Sun Dance, because I didn't live in Northfield back then. But I've heard about it from Nancy, who loved working there, and was delighted to make the connection when admiring your skis yesterday. Happy trails, Sam What a great day it was for a ski!
