Most of us dream but little comes of it.
Tori Gelbert dreamt of something andâwith lots of help from the Culpeper communityâis making it come to life.
Seizing on her inspiration, more than two dozen students and adults are creating outdoor classrooms in what was a schoolâs largely unused central courtyard.
The idea came to Gelbert in her sleep one night, though the principal of Emerald Hill Elementary School said she was embarrassed to admit it.
The principal, a runner who used to coach track, had dreamt of holding the grand opening of a track built inside the wings of Emerald Hill, which are grouped around a central courtyard where a few teachers used to take warm-weather lunch breaks on four picnic tables.

If you’re wary of the possible crowds you’ll face at the ski slopes but still want to get some nice outdoor adventure in this winter, cross-country, also called Nordic, skiing may be the answer. It’s a great workout and an excuse to be outside which all of us can use after all this extra time indoors during the pandemic. Because it’s so cardio-centric, XC skiing will make you sweat even on the coldest days, so, like winter running, the right clothing (with the right moisture-management capability) is imperative.

To help you find the appropriate gear for you, whether it’s your first time skiing or you’re just looking to upgrade the kit you already have, we asked eight XC-skiing experts for recommendations.
