"The three of us — Nordic skiers of varying levels — have stopped halfway through our 15-kilometre trek at the propane-heated Stokely Lake Cabin to eat lunch, swap ski stories and pose for pictures with fellow skiers. Pat, Carina and I have plans to press on to the legendary Norm’s Cabin on Bone Lake, where trapper Norm Bourgeois lived until his death last year. Maintained by the Algoma Highlands Nature Conservancy, the rustic cabin is filled with memorabilia and tea and cookies, awaiting famished skiers. But our aching quads demand our attention, so we head back to the trailhead under sunny, blue skies — and a few slippery slopes along the way."
