The trails at Shannondale were in excellent shape Sunday for both skate and classic. Good skis were the order of the day as the area has plenty of snow and no bare spots. Of course Dave Lumgair had the trails perfectly groomed and took the time to chat with our group. Worth the trip to get some free fresh air.
