There are plenty of terrific groomed ski trails in Minnesota state parks and state forests, but remember you'll first need to get a ski pass if you are 16 or older.
A friend of mine recently was driving with her family in Central Minnesota when they spotted what appears to be an Amish man "ditch skiing" behind a horse drawn buggy.
We all agree that this winter has been incredibly harsh with record low temperatures, but many brave souls across the nation still embrace the need for speed and outdoor adventure.
