<p>If you hold them upright, they don't even take up any room! They fit on the bus just fine. Got some weird looks from people on the #81. </p>

<p>At least you got there somehow, and got to ski. Yeah, the operating rules for commuter trains can be odd at times(i.e. the prohibition of NICTD/South Shore in not letting bikers get off the train at low level stations, for their pilot bike program). You'd think Metra and NICTD would want to find a way to permit skis to be taken on the train, though!</p>

<p>I hit up the Marovitz course Tuesday PM. It was pretty nice. Though trying to go down Cricket Hill was a big mistake. I don't ride in the salt, too lazy to change out my drivetrain and no storage space for a beater. </p>

<p>The Des Plaines River trail can be accessed by CTA, bus, and Metra. Or, you can ski at any of the city golf courses.</p>
<p></p>
<p>of course, you can always strap your skis to your top tube and ride to a trailend</p>

<p>Yeah, I know. But then it's Metra, so it's whatever the hell the conductor feels like that day. Ended up renting a car and going out to the Indiana Dunes. Really nice spot. Only fell 4 times. </p>

<p>Weird, Metra doesn't permit skis? Even in the luggage storage area on the upper level of the train? That's really strange.</p>

<p>Thanks. I might just try the lakefront. Best public transit option I could find is 2 hours each way, and I'd still need a $10 Lyft ride to get to the trailhead. </p>
