Feb 7, 2022: Mt. Blue XC Ski Class II-III

Trip Leader: Kenny DeCoster. Participants: Gary & Suzanne Cole, Ken & Susan Gordon, Paul Peters, Troad Richmond and TC.

As winter was melting away in southern Maine, 7 of us took advantage of the new snow up north in Mt Blue State Park. We formed two groups. One group skied the long loop around Center hill and Hedgehog Mountain. The second group explored the loop trails in the western part of the park. The variety trails offered something for everyone. The trip was delayed for two days because of the polar vortex, so we had warmer temperatures but very cloudy skies. The snow conditions were great and we had most of the park to ourselves. A glorious ski. We all met back at the heated yurt and shared stories and yummy homemade and homegrown treats. This seems to have become an annual tradition, so y’all come out and ski next year.
