Want the skinny on the skinny skis? They are cross country skis! Also known as nordic skiing or skate skiing; there are beautiful groomed tracks available in both Vail and Beaver Creek. It’s a good way to get some serious cardio in the winter and a great activity solo or with friends. Our local editor Heather and her husband Kirk made it out on this beautiful bluebird day to enjoy the fresh mountain air, and you can too!
