Title: cross country skiing near Fairfax

Hi! My lovely husband bought me some cross country skis for Christmas. Anyone know where the closest trails are?

Thanks,
Libby

It appears that the new Bed & Breakfast on 104A has a trail system.  I saw a sign today.  http://theinnatgracefarm.com

Over on Route 104A, I notice that they have a cross country ski trail.  It is the new Bed & Breakfast that Jason Minor just built.  I think they call it the Inn At Grace Farm or something like that.  Also, I am sure if you check with Claude, he might let you cross country ski on his land, that way you wouldn't have far to go.  Steve Ratte also cross country skis also I think and he is just up the road from you.  If you don't have any luck let me know and I will check further for you.  Not sure what Jason charges, but I think it said on the sign.

That's ok Henry.  More information is always better.

"Hi Henry,
I believe Fred Griffith would be a good resource for x country skiing, and places to go skiing.  He has a ski group. I have seen many skiers out on the old Boissoneault farm during this last week.

The Inn at Grace Farm will soon offer about 4K of trails for snow shoe and cross country use.  A membership for a family of 4 is $79 (or $30 per person).  We do not offer single day use at this time.  The permit and waiver for people who are interested can be found in the box on the front of the sign.  Signed waivers can be returned to the box on the back of the sign.  Currently we are trying to finish building a groomer.  When the trails are open we will hang a big OPEN flag on the sign.  Thanks for your interest!
