Measure how wide the narrow track are on those courses. I've been figuring about 3' or a meter. Is that right? We can groom some tracks here the same width; got to plan a time/place to do it. You guys talk about what would work for your schedule next year.

In Norway they tend to be ~1.2m. Practicing on 1m of course wouldn't hurt!

given the amount of Ski-O' that you do, I think the best thing you could do to improve is do more of it. Unfortunatley, given the limited ski-O' schedule, ski-O maps, and snow, that's really hard to do. In fact, with your situation in snowless (+/-) Toledo, you are doing super and definitely doing the right things by reading ski-O' maps while roller skiing, roller skiing and snow skiiing when you can.

By the way, you probably already know about this but incase you have forgotten, it's good for working on the left-right-left-straight thingy.

Are the snowmobiles there narrower than other places? Whenever I see photos of the snowmobiles, I think the ones in Kaz look suspiciously like the ones in the 1982 movie "The Thing".

There might be parks with enough trails to make running but ski O style training courses, if that would be of value.
