Think back to the warm-weather months.
The popularity of outdoor activities was soaring. The supply of bicycles for sale was mostly gone, and a major issue for hikers in the High Peaks was parking. The surge in interest was widespread from rounds of golf played on local courses to the sale of hunting and fishing licenses.
Well, the coming of the cold months hasn’t cooled off that interest in heading outside for something to do amid the pandemic. People want to get outside, and the interest in cross country skiing and snowshoeing this season is far higher than area shop staffers remember from past winters.
