When I first unboxed the Snowcross 2, I was concerned it would be extremely stiff and uncomfortable while running. This turned out to be silly, and the comfort quality was incredible. When running on a mixed-conditions trail (some snow, some packed ice, and some dry spots) I was impressed with how it transitioned between the various surfaces.
I got these for my winter bike commute and I love them. They have largely replaced my chunky sorels as well for just popping out of the house in the winter. True they are not great in ice, but on hard pack snow they are fantastic. I even where them riding in the rain.
Let it snow! Celebrate winter with this fun decorative cross stitch quote. The stitched letters are adorned with winter berries and pine branches. The design pops on black Aida, and would also look fantastic on chalboard black Aida. When stitched on 14-count fabric, the finished piece fits perfectly into a standard 5" x 7" frame.
With a curly scarf and wool felt carrot nose, this cute cross stitch snowman is all set for the next blizzard! The chart includes a hand-dyed start button and a snippet of wool felt to make the carrot nose. The model was flat finished with a curved edge top that featured the stitched snowflakes cascading off the top as if it was really snowing!
This whimsical winter cross stitch pattern by Barbara Ana Designs is anchored by an ornate pair of embroidery scissors. Surrounding the scissors are Quaker motifs and a cozy village scene. Pretty pops of red give the design warmth and added interest.
First of all I would like to thank Kent for allowing me the opportunity to review a product on this blog. Especially the Salomon Snowcross shoes that I have had my eye on for several months. They have fun written all over them!
The shoe fit rather snug as I was wearing a size smaller than normal for Salomon products. The toe portion was especially snug with an almost elastic feel. The cinch strap of course allows for a tight fit and increased support. With this tight fit the shoe really did feel like an extension of my leg and when I stepped out onto the hardpacked icy road, I really felt that I was one with my Snowcross.
My next run in the Snowcrosses was a 10K route on a slightly packed snowmobile trail that led to a beautiful vista. The beauty was in the fact that without these shoes, the route would have required snowshoes or skis. I would not have considered running this route in the winter, in regular trail shoes. The snow was softer than the road pack and this allowed me to test the worthiness of the gaiter. The gaiter fits snug and there was no issue whatsoever with snow getting into the shoe. I secretly had hoped that wearing these shoes would make running this trail as enjoyable in the winter as it is in the summer. Unfortunately, the shoes cannot do anything about the soft snow underneath. While the added support was definitely as asset, being soft and unpredictable the terrain was not overly fun to run on. I particularly noticed a tendency to pronate more on this soft uneven ground.
The combination of these runs has left me wanting to run the Snowcross shoes on a hardpacked snowmobile trail on a cold day when the trail is solid. The fantastic tread and support could make for an enjoyable trail run on hard ground with the added possibility of a technical aspect to the run, dodging ruts, aiming for level ground and adjusting for steep ascents and descents. Additionally, I am looking forward to the brief time when my favourite trail runs are melting and the shoe can be used on a trail that will be equal parts snow, ice, dirt, rock and hardpack. I think that this spring running season will be one to remember.

Snocross (also snowcross) is a racing sport involving racing specialized high performance snowmobiles on natural or artificially-made tracks consisting of tight turns, banked corners, steep jumps and obstacles. Riders race at speed of up to 60 miles per hour (96 kilometres per hour).[1] Jumps are up to 30 feet (9.1 meters) tall, so riders travel up to 130 feet (40 meters) before they touch the ground.[1] According to the World Snowmobile Association which governs snocross, watercross, and hillcross racing, snocross is the most popular form of snowmobile racing.[2]
Snocross was derived from the sport of motocross. The name is a portmanteau of the words "snowmobile" and "motocross". The sport uses a snowmobile instead of a motorcycle, and a snow/ice surface instead of dirt. The snow/ice surface which is either natural or man-made.[3] Tracks are generally located in higher latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere since temperatures below freezing are required to maintain the frozen track surface. Motorcycle riders in motocross and supercross frequently compete in snocross in the winter.[3]
Snocross became an event at the X Games in 1998.[4] X Games is a popular gathering place for some snow-related sports in the United States. The course at the first snocross event at the X Games resembled a motocross course; it was significantly longer than courses are now. It had deeper holes and higher jumps that are now filled in with snow.[4]
The snowmobiles vary significantly depending on their class. Sanctioning bodies are governed by International Snowmobile Racing (ISR) rules. Drivers are required to wear a helmet with a minimum of 50% International (Blaze) Orange. (Rule of thumb, a credit card placed anywhere on the helmet must contact orange), racing suit (must have a minimum of 144 square inches of orange on front and back), gloves, goggles/eye protection, leather boots, shin guards, elbow pads, neck braces, knee guards, and upper body protection (Motocross vests are NOT legal for Snocross. Hearing protection is often required in non-stock classes.[5]
Races start with the drivers forming a line abreast at the start line. The event begins with either a drop of a green flag by the starter or by the starter turning on a light. Like other sports derived from cross country running, the winner is often the rider who has the best holeshot.[6] The event may be stopped for a dangerous condition. The snowmobiles are lined up for the restart by their position in the race, with the drivers involved in the stoppage starting in the rear. The winner of the event is the rider who finishes first in the feature event.[5] Events attract over 10,000 spectators.[3]
In the northeastern United States (New England and New York), Rock Maple Racing sanctioned snocross racing from the winter of 1991-92 until being sold (for the second time) in May 2010. New owners Eric Scott and Bob Roscoe chose to form the East Coast Snocross (ECS) series to carry on the tradition RMR had created. Now owned by Mass. native Kurt Gagne, East Coast Snocross (ISOC's eastern affiliate) will sanction eight points-paying events in 2019, along with one ice drag event. Previous years have seen hillcross events sanctioned as well. Snowmobile racing is big in northern New England where snows are deep and temperatures often remain cold for weeks. ECS races throughout New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York.
Mountain West Racing sanctions on eight events in northern Rocky Mountains states. There is a snocross track in Wauconda, Illinois. It is home to the Winter Thunder Challenge snocross club, an ISOC affiliate, and they have to make snow to make up for the lack of natural snowfall.
The Canadian Snowcross Racing Association (CSRA) hosts 5.5 (five full weekends plus one one-day event) regional & regional plus one additional national-only points-paying events across Ontario and Quebec. Owned by veteran promoter Ken Avann, the CSRA is Canada's national tour. Despite being an ISR (the rules body) affiliate, CSRA technical rules differ for various classes, making competition between series' on either side of the border challenging for riders and crew.
By 1938, however, large-scale pilgrimages had ended, wrote Kevin Blake, a cultural geographer at Kansas State University, in the Journal of Cultural Geography in 2008. One major factor was the U.S. Army establishing a mountain and warfare training camp that abutted the national monument and made access more difficult. Some have proposed that the military bombing may have led to a rock slide that damaged the right arm of the cross.
