Going x-country skiing for the first time. Help!
in Sports
Fi and I are off to Aspen for a weekend conference. There will be time to ski, but since Fi has bad knees and I have never skied in my life, so we are going to do a little cross country. We will be able to get the equipment there, and I have a snow jacket and gloves, but I am sure that my snow pants are going to be way too heavy for skiing.
Can anyone tell me what I will need for this excursion? I obviously won't want to spend a ton of $$, but I want a bottom layer that will make the experience enjoyable. Point me in the right direction!
Re: Going x-country skiing for the first time. Help!
1) I've only been cross country skiing once, but I'm sure the ladies on the Colorado board can help tremendously.
2) Layers are your friend! I would suggest if you don't want to wear full on snow pants... at least 2 layers of bottoms. Bring a backpack to put everything in (water, a snack) If it were me, I'd just wear the snow pants.
3) have you thought about snowshoeing instead? I found it much more enjoyable and technically easier than x-country skiing.
