… is the only appropriate word for this.
Yesterday the entire 2,5 km track was chewed up by the logging equipment. Today they had again been there to collect the timber and haul it out of there – but less than 24 hours after the devastation yesterday, there was a fresh track made by one of the guys from the Ski Club. Now, wouldn’t you know someone had already managed to walk in the tracks when I was there shortly after 5 PM? I guess it was easier than to walk on the side…. Grrr.
Kudos to the dedicated Ski Club.
Boooooo to the person who walked on the tracks!
And more Grrrrrr for the logging operation. *sigh*

I don’t know anything about cross-country skiing–does walking in the tracks ruin them?

Jenn – the tracks are set using a kind of sled with two runners set close to each under on the bottom.(It’s dragged on the side of a skidoo.) This packs the snow to make a good track but it’s soft enough that if you walk on them, they are ruined. Modern X-country skis are so narrow that you need a prepared track to use them.
