All this happened overnight. Will it be spring before I find my axe or get my vehicle down to the road? My skis are backordered and will be here Dec. 4th. If they send them UPS the guy will leave them at my neighbors house, 2 miles away. Then I can ski up to my cabin. They are fat and short and have metal edges. They are waxless and they come with bindings. You don’t need special boots just strap yourself in and go.
