Name of XC Area: Summit Nordic Center Times that I have skied there: Several times I last skied there in: Jan, 2004 Trails that I skied: Silver Streak, Rockdale Bowl, Skidaddle, Dawn's Run, Creek Run, etc My favorite trails: Rockdale Bowl; Silver Streak, Rockdale Canyon, Creek Run Trail marking: Very good Trail grooming: Very good Rating: 4.5 stars What I liked: With 52 kilometers of groomed trails and service by lifts, it's hard to beat Summit Nordic. Given the low temps and good snow so far, right now this is perhaps the best in the country. I was in Sun Valley last weekend (Jan 16-19) and missed lift-served xc, with all that net downhill! What I disliked: nothing Comments: Nearby Cabin Creek is one of the finer facilities as well. Submitted by: Ed Winskill from: Tacoma, Wash. Date submitted: Jan 24, 2004
