Nom de Plume

XC Skiing

March 6th, 2009 · View Comments

I’m convinced that this is one of the most perfect forms of exercise, yet I don’t do it nearly enough.  Lately, cross country skiing is an activity that we try to take on at least once a week, depending on the weather conditions.  Don’t get me wrong, I love my snowboarding.  If its a powder [...]
