I have a few pair that do not meet that criteria. "Those who hammer their guns into plowshares will plow for those who do not."

Cross country seems like to much work in these mountains I prefer classic skiing over skate skiing. Skate skiing looks like more work & less fun. Last edited by AJE; 02/20/22 08:50 PM.

I'm thinking of trying to make a groomer to pull behind my atv or snowmobile We don't have enough snow to snowshoe this winter my uncle used to groom ski trails as his winter job old snow mobile with a weighted sled that was basically a box with skis and weight it made 2 different widths as I recall a narrow and a wider track if you didn't want the ski tracks cut it could just be a weighted sled America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.
