Fresh Tracks!
Last year, I braved cross-country skiing for the first time in my life. While my technique is lacking, I do find myself hooked! Considered to be the granddaddy of all skiing disciplines, cross-country skiing is a terrific fitness activity to add to your winter sports portfolio. Not convinced you are ready to join the legion of folk in tight pants on skinny skis? Well, consider this list of reasons to go Nordic:
• No Lift Lines – simply gear up and go. No need to wait patiently in line for the chair. If you can walk, you can cross-country ski.
• The View – on a clear day, the view from Cypress Mountain is spectacular. Plan to stay for sunset to experience an epic West Coast Ski moment
• Outdoor Zen – escape the crowds and ski
