Snow...where are you??

I am getting the urge to go cross country skiing. Now first off, I don't have ski's. I may have some vintage one's, but have no idea where they are. I drive past parks daily and am getting an itch. I am texting good ole' Ben, the cross country skiing god that I know of. I am thinking this is going to be an expensive investment?????? The last time I skied was probably 5 yrs ago, and I think I got lost on the trails for at least 2 hrs. I thought for sure I was a goner :)
We'll see what the snow brings...looks like 47 on friday, no skiing just yet!!
