'TIS THE SEASON: To our joy, or chagrin, winter is right around the corner and that means the beginning of the cross country ski season. The Mono Nordic Ski Club held its open house where skiers could buy and swap equipment and get prepared. Preparations included having their skis waxed by Anika Smithson, left, and Lauren Smithson, as well as Robert Ragotte and Quin Martin. Photo/DAN PELTON
