We’ve Got the Best Cross-Country Ski Trails

     Despite the fact I haven’t skiied too many other places than in Cook County I have always thought our ski trails were awesome. While in Hayward, Wisconsin for a hockey tournament I did a little cross-country skiing.  I skiied on the famous Birkibeiner Trail and while it was nice, it didn’t compare to our trails.  

     The Birkebeiner Ski Trail is wider than the Gunflint Trail, the Highway. I didn’t get to ski too much of the trail because there weren’t any loops that I coud take off of it.  I had to ski in one way and out the same way, not my favorite type of trail.  I also had to cross 3 roads in the short distance I skiied and I really don’t like to take my skis off that many times, I’d prefer not to do it at all. 

     I guess other folks feel the same way about our cross-country ski trails in Cook County.   Two men with way more cross-country skiing experience think we’ve got the best trails around.
