Leading up to this week's Newfoundland and Labrador Winter Games in Grand Falls-Windsor, there was concern about unseasonably warm weather wreaking havoc on the Exploits Valley cross-country ski trail system.
The problems faced by the Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics, if you will, but on a much smaller scale.
Some even feared cross-country skiing, the Games' only outdoor winter sport, would have to be moved, or worse still, cancelled. Possible alternate venues included a local park or trails in nearby Gander.
