r/xcountryskiing

I ski a lot during the week and most of my friends work normal schedules so I'm always trying to find people to ride with.

Curious if anyone else has this problem.

I’m moving to Portland Maine this summer. I know the White Mountains are great. I’m moving from around Lake Ontario so I’m used to having lake effect snow at my front door. Will Portland have consistent trails close by (less than 1 hour drive) too?

I'm really curious about this, if its not much more expensive than a skierg.... seems more like on snow skiing.

I realize the conditions can be variable and everyone has their favorite brand and even model....but let me know your opinion please. I'm wave 1 or 2, not sure yet this year.

TIA

My 12yo is starting dryland soon and this year they want them to have a GPS and HR watch. Any suggestions on what would fit a very skinny wrist and not cost me two arms and a leg?
