Tomorrow I pick up my skis and, typically, the snow has melted. A quick look at the ground outside in Partille shows a bit of icy/snow and a lot of green. A quick look at Skidspår shows endless reports on the lack of tracks. Borås seems to have some snow. Is that true? Anyone within an hour's drive of Gbg have a nice ski trail to offer me?

I have signed up for the 42km Stråkenloppet this Sunday in Mullsjö and they seem to still have some snow. But I am slightly worried that I will be taking my first ride ever on the super skis in a race situation. Could be fun. Could be a disaster. But I am sure I will get the hang of the skis after 42km worth.
