Solitude on the ski trails at Essex
David Christensen crunches along the Starlight Trail on a set of snowshoes, using poles to help propel himself forward. He’s one of a handful of hikers and cross-country skiers on the trails, and although the temperature is a brisk 4 degrees, he’s treated to intermittent blasts of sunlight and blissful solitude.
