XC Skiing?

[Irulan]

There are two different kinds of XC skiing, classic and skate. Catrin, which one are you talking about?

I have no idea which one I mean Irulan, I was going on conversations with others and I need to do some research when I've a chance I'm unsure how realistic it is for me to consider around here anyway, and it couldn't happen this winter. Are both types done on manicured trails? I was told of golf courses that convert to XC skiing in the winter, though I doubt any are local.

Thanks Irulan! I must admit it sounds like fun, even though I'm still gun-shy from my fall last March that I'm still recovering from. I will research further and if I can find a reasonable close place to try it out next season without breaking the bank I will try it!

The great thing about nordic skiing, is that even if you are at a nordic center, the price is very cheap (10-20), as compared to downhill skiing. And, you can also access trails in the woods, if you don't mind untracked skiing.
Golf courses around here no longer allow any winter activity on their grounds. They are afraid of lawsuits. However, we do have one very popular place, that is a municpal golf course that turns into an x country center in hte winter.
