Submitted by my friend, Luke Taylor, a sure sign that winter is over and warmer weather is here to stay.  One wonders, were these skis being replaced by newer, better skis?  Or were the skis, like the pastime, quickly discarded when it was discovered that cross-country skiing is a lot of work?  I’ve done it and if you’re not experienced or in decent shape it’s only fun for about five minutes.  Maybe a little longer in the right company.
