Are you on skate skis or classic. Sounds like a hand group to belong to. I don't think we have such a group around here.

We were on classic yesterday. With the snow falling, skating would have been hard - quite apart from the fact that there's no way I could skate for 2 1/2 hours! It's a class called 'ski fitness' run by our local ski club, Foothills Nordic and is mostly middle aged women, except for our coach who is one of the masters. There are also classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings so if you can't make the class you have signed up for, you can switch. Fairly low key with a wide range of abilities. I am one of the worst, despite having tried to improve for years and despite being one of the fittest. But it's all in the technique!
Thankfully we are not heading out there today. There's a snowfall warning for Canmore and a high of -21. Though in Calgary it's supposed to drop to -25 by this afternoon. Better get out early for a run!
