Cross country skiing is the oldest type of skiing, having evolved out of a need to travel over snow-covered terrain. Along the way, about a century or so ago, some of these travelers realized that skiing could also be fun. Since then, cross-country skiing has evolved so that it can now be enjoyed in a wide variety of forms.Guest Author Tony Goodwin, Executive Director of the Adirondack Trail Improvement Society and the Adirondack Ski Touring Council, shares his expertise in cross country skiing, skis equipment, and outings in Cross Country Skiing 101 - a cross country skiing primer.

This is a great guide - and here’s another useful tip: both new and experienced cross country skiers may want to check out 3Luxe’s carefully researched listings next time they are in need of new equipment or outdoor gear - http://www.3luxe.com/category/Winter/Cross_Country_Skis
I think that this sport is going to become even more popular - after all, it is a great form of exercise that is also lots of fun. Of course, I’m probably preaching to the choir here
