I've found it impossible to judge XC/BC ski conditions by watching weather reports, or from looking out my window (except in those all-too-rare mega snow dump conditions). So I thought maybe we could all share what we know.
Blue Marsh Lake has been really nice this past week for XC skiing on the lake (there's not enough snow on the trails). The ice isn't all that thick, so stay near the edges, over shallow water. I'm hoping to head out this Sat. and Sun. morning. If anyone's interested you can PM me.
Has anyone been out in the Lehigh Valley? Jim Thorpe? If so, I'd love to hear about it.
