But are they any other winter sports enthusiasts? My wife and I are in the middle of our annual XC ski vacation in Vermont. Unfortunately there is very little snow. These are the worst midwinter ski conditions that I have ever experienced. The well publicized Arctic vortex provided freezing temperatures in all the US states in North America but the snow fell in narrow belts in the midwest and the Atlantic coast. I have been a XC country skier since an army assignment in in 1955 at the polar bear capital of the world, Ft. Churchill, Canada. I have more pairs of skis than I have Leica lenses. Here is a selfie taken with a P&S camera while skiing today. http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/Larry+Z/Skiing+selfie.jpg.html Are there any other winter sports enthusiasts, Alpine skiers, ski jumpers, ice skaters, sledders, or snowball fighters on the LUG??
