Hi Jack - Welcome to the community! Looks like you are just a shot bit South of where I am in York, Maine. We just set up a discussion forum (see tab at top), where you can ask questions as they come up if you'd like... you can check it out at http://yorknordic.com/forum. We also have some how-to photos and videos if you are looking to hone your technique. We look forward to your questions and comments. Thanks!
