meandering forest trails which give a back country feel in a groomed,
patrolled area. The trail system is groomed with one side tracked for
classic a.k.a. diagonal stride skiing and the other left smoothed for
snowshoeing and freestyle a.k.a. skate skiing. (If you are not familiar
with skating, imagine roller blading on snow - except you have control
and stopability on hills.)
