Guide to glide

by SAM SOLOMON • February 2009

Cross-country skier Jonathan Wiesel’s enthusiasm might better be described as fanaticism. In a new edition of his guidebook, Cross-Country Ski Getaways, Wiesel exhaustively profiles almost 100 of the best cross-country locations and trails in North America, including 17 in Canada. His write-ups include details about the trails and scenery, hot-tub availability, and the best local food and wine. Wiesel is no ski snob: his love for the sport is derived in part from “the excuse that a day spent skiing gives him to have a rich dessert (or two).” The guide is available for US$9.95 as a downloadable e-book at www.crosscountryskifun.com .
