Cross Country Skiing

Good for:  Building endurance, peace and quiet, lovely views, feeling alone
Not so good for:  Injuries (skis do not clip out when you fall!), legs not used to cross country skiing


So, I went on a ski holiday recently, to Trysil, with boyfriend and his kids and mum.  In an attempt to stay fit and/or get fitter, I did some cross country skiing.

Loved the peace and tranquillity of being out in the open mountain, but my legs did not like being used in a way that they are not used to.  I would recommend it for cross-training when on a ski holiday, but be prepared to be sore after.  Also be prepared for sweat drenched clothes if you wear too much, and be warned that the weather might change dramatically when you get to the other side of the mountain.  Been there, done that.  :D
