I love x-country - I just started a couple seasons ago and got $30 new boots from REIOutlet.com and some used gear at a local consignment shop in Tahoe City. It's great on those holiday weekends when the mtns are super crowded. And it's free. And I feel like I get an awesome workout after 2 hrs. And my house is right next to Sugar Pine Point State Park, which was where the 1960 Winter Olympics had the biathalon (though I don't ski with a rifle). There are even plaques on part of the trail. Definitely recomment it....

I've loved it both times I did it -- my dream is it xc ski on the national mall during a major snow dump and tour the monuments. Of course as luck would have it, I left the morning of our major snowfall two weeks ago!
The first time I xc skied, I went down into a snowbank and pitched forward into an upside down V before someone grabbed me by the scruff of my neck and uprighted me. Fantastic!

I went cross country skiing today for the first time. It was so much fun - we only went out for about 4-5 miles, but stil that was enough for me. the first "hill" was a little scary, but after that I got the hang of it. We took a groomed track on the way back, it was nice because they had the groomed part for skate skiiers, and then two ski tracks for regular cross country skis.
I definitely want to get out again and spend the day cross-country skiing - just need to find a good deal on a setup.

Tried XC for the first time yesterday! Skating Fell once within 10 feet because I was joking around saying I was going to catch a guy that just passed us. It was fun...in a way
