Hey...  if I could ski 80-90 days a year, I'd definitely get into some backcountry in addition to the groomed cross country skiing,

Great vid.  They were flying!!!  About a week or so after the 15" storm that we got this past winter, I went out in our local woods on my bcxc setup.  There was a rain event followed by a freeze and needless to say, the snowpack was totally frozen solid.  The trails had frozen ruts where people had skied and/or walked/snowshoed.  So, I spent about 2 hours just bushwhacking off of the trails and just floated over the snowpack like what those guys were doing in the video.  However, I was nowhere near as graceful and there were tons of trees all over.  :).
