Although a few diehards may have had their grass skis out on the golf course or back yard, most of us are a little more picky and remain couch bound. If you are looking for a couch related activity to get you warmed up for the impending ski season, and wish to remain a member of the “No Train, Big Pain” school of preparation, check out “Off Track” on Netflix, a slightly quircky, Swedish, sort of romantic, comedy. And if you have been eyeing the waterfowl Park’s tempting glaze of smoothness, I would suggest it is not yet time. There is still water around the edges, the ice is barely 4 cm thick, and there is a worrisome lack of skate marks. Cheers,
