i did it alot last winter after not having done it for a long time. i really like it. i lived right by a golf course which was great for skiing around on, and a ranch that had a whole system of trails. good exercise and a fun way to travel around when theres snow everywhere. i actually went out once already a couple weeks ago, when there was about 4 inches of snow on the ground. got a couple weird looks.

I dont like it at all. We had to do it so much in elementary school and first it was cool and all but then it started sucking after a while. Never wanna do it again but i have to when i gotta go to the military

I dig it, but I like hiking too, so cruising through the woods is always good to me.

yeah i definatly did it throughout highschool. i raced at easterns and all that, it sucks and its really fun. i learned a shit load of downhill tricks on nordic skis like 3s and backflips. the set up is so much lighter. it also gives u the best conditioning for alpine, you legs get ripped

I grew up cross country skiing, man. I didn't start downhill skiing until i was 14. I still do x-country alot cause we have some nice trails for it on PEI and also sometimes I cross country ski with my twins and shovel to the 'backcountry' to build jumps. Its so cool also at night when teh moon is really bright- such a good time to be outside in winter.
