It is that time again (finally) that I can go skating (XC skiing like you see in the Olympics). The conditions are great and, luckily, there is a great nordic center that is not to far away.
Imagine if VMB had a rustic clubhouse and a multitude of amazing trails right out the door. That is what life is like at any nordic center. Crystal Lake (www.crystallakeskicenter.com) is just east of Williamsport and gets a ton of lake effect snow. They have a full range of rentals and food, and the scene there is really cool and laid back. I plan on going today, Sunday and next weekend. I hope some of you guys check it out this year -- it is a phenomenal supplement to, and diversion from, bike riding.
