I strongly urge you to give XC skiing a try. Very intuitive and basic. Not hard at all. Nowhere near as technical as MTB trial riding. If you can walk, you can XC ski. Just be sure to start out on a nice level stretch. Once you get your legs under you, gradually work your way into gentle climbs and descents. Have taught my husband and several friends and had them out on the trail with me, first time. Best way to start is to rent from a shop that knows how to fit you with the right gear. Don't need wilderness to enjoy XC either. When I lived in the Chicago suburbs, would ski right out of may garden level apartment, across lawns, over to several city parks. Basically had them to myself. Fun, fun, fun.
