Well, I did follow up and bought some new cross country skis from Scheels down in Iowa City on the last day of 2007. Tested them out on New Year's Day and I'm very happy with them. Was a bit worried about the boots but they do feel good and they are just roomy enough for extra socks if needed. It was pretty cold out for skiing (about 9 degrees) yesterday and a bit windy too. It was a good test and I can tell that extra socks will be needed if staying out more than 30-50 minutes at a time (yesterday was about 40 minutes) at these colder temperatures. Well, it should warm up by the weekend (into the 30's) so that there should be some much more comfortable opportunities to check out the local skiing areas (Ellis golf course and Squaw Creek park, among possible others).
Great start to the new year! ... cyal8tr.
