Hey Baygo....that sounds like a real smart move because xc skiing and then restauranting go together real good.....here's hop'n you got a real wood burning fireplace or wood burn'n woodstove as opposed to one of those propane faux wood stoves to go along with the xc atmosphere......so it sounds like the xc ticket money just gets to be reused paying for the restaurant food..... what a smooth move.....just glide on in to the 'bull hill cabin!'

How can the city administrators in Laconia not approve the golf course for use as a xc ski trail considering that golf and cross country skiing go together just like tennis and downhill skiing! There's a number, like a big number, of public and maybe private golf courses that go xc ski in the winter. The Putterham Course in Brookline Mass. has been doing that for maybe 40-years.

At the WV combo XC & golf course, what they use for grooming is a super-duper Piston Bully groomer that must cost macho money, however, they also use a Skandic snowmobile, made by Skidoo, which is probably considered a utility style snowmobile. It tows a small groomer trailer around on the trails when there's not enough snow to support the heavy weight of the Piston Bully which has been the case a lot in the past few years.
