Wow 50 in Wisconsin? That's awesome! Any snow for XC skiing there?

From Hamdog Alum on Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 23:24:01 from 24.240.65.116

None! They've made some over on those trails we ran this summer, but they only have a 1/4 mile track :( The downhill resorts have about 1/2 the runs open with man made snow, but it's pretty icy. Do you guys have enough back country snow?

Nothing to ski here either...haven't even been in the backcountry this year. Jake's so depressed that he's been talking about doing Boston for the last week. Probably 80% chance at this point.

Bummer! We topped 58 here today, but it looks like we'll get 4-8 inches tomorrow. This is a really good Boston training year. The lack of snow makes it marathon work a lot more bearable
