Testimonial: Great Cross-Country Skiing Adventure

We skied all four huts – Stratton Brook, Poplar, Flagstaff, and Grand Falls. Huts were wonderful – friendly staff, well organized, heated bunk rooms and main room a real plus, hot showers were welcome, meals very nice and very accommodating to vegetarians, gluten free, etc. Groomed trails a real plus and some had beautiful views of the surrounding areas and mountains. We used metal edged backcountry skis which helped on some of the downhills – though we saw lots of people without metal edges, if the trails get icy at all (which they did while we were there) the edges helped tremendously. Some of the huts (esp. Flagstaff and Poplar) can be reached via a short ski from a nearby trailhead, making these suitable for families with younger kids (and we saw a few). We did this with two teenagers (18 and 15) with no problems, though we were certainly tired by the end of an 11+ mile day! Would heartily recommend this as a great winter getaway.
