Last winter Katie and I got out on the frozen LakeMendota and got to cross-country ski.We absolutely loved it!We decided that this year we wanted to save for our own set of skis.Friday after work, Katie found a pair at Play-it-Again Sports – a “vintage” pair that are just perfect for her.The next morning I was able to find what I was looking for at REI.That afternoon, we hit the trails for the first time on our own skis.What a joy to begin this outdoor winter activity.Sunday, I explored the UW Arboretum, and Monday I took Katie there for her first time on the trails.
