Kudos to the Blue Plate Restaurant Group. Via their Facebook page starting last night they advertised the following:

IT’S A SNOW DAY!!! Brave the Blizzard special from 11am to 4pm. Today, and at all of our restaurants, tell us you like us on facebook and get 50% off!!!

So I skied there for lunch and joined a few other snow shoe fans and cross country skiers. I can’t remember the last time I cross country skied in 2 feet of powder. Quite a workout to say the least.
