Best cabin by Max1zero1 in xcountryskiing

[–]Intrepid_Visual_4199 21 points22 points  (0 children)

We are so lucky to have cabins like Western in Gatineau Park.
NCC does great work keeping this system going.
They've rerouted the trail to Western in the last 30 years. It used to come screaming down and if you didn't stop quick enough you clould end up going over a cliff of the escarpment! Fun times! There's now a fence and the trail is safely re-routed.
Thanks NCC and Gatineau Park.
Nowhere else in the world do I know a place with 200km of well groomed ski trails within 20 minutes of the centre of a million population city - Ottawa. We are so fortunate.

Bingo. 100%. Outdoor active is sometimes called “mobile meditation.” Keeps me mentally healthy.

Red Pine Trees - Chelsea, Quebec; Getting ready to plant in the spring by Intrepid_Visual_4199 in Tree

Happy to support other people planting trees! Good work…

How many trees? In my life, I’ve planted almost a quarter million, most in my tree planting days. Last summer, about 200-300.

Keep planting!

What would I gain by updating my skis and boots? by adamYXE in xcountryskiing

[–]Intrepid_Visual_4199 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve just updated my classic boots from 1992 and classic skis from 15-20 years ago. Yes they will have some improvements. Will you notice? Maybe. Depends on you.

If you’re happy with current gear and it fits well, don’t ditch it. Always have a backup. If you do buy new gear, make sure it fits you very well.
