One Family's Backcountry Misadventures
A true story of winter survival ... and fun!

When old friends issued an invitation to share a cabin for a weekend of
cross-country skiing and snowshoeing, I jumped at the idea. Spending
time with people I don’t see enough while engaging in an activity I
don’t do enough sounded perfect. And hadn’t I been meaning to get my
family out on skinny skis?
I’m the only Nordic skier in the
family. My husband Jason, and our children, Abbie (10) and Milo (7),
prefer the pace and ease of downhill, but I argued that they really
hadn’t tried cross-country, or not recently. I sold the idea around the
dinner table to an underwhelmed audience: “I promise; it’ll be great!” |
