We are learning to skate ski- the learning curve is BRUTAL! I totally sucked for the first lesson, too. I hear everything from "10 times" to 20-30 hours to get the hang of it. I'm progressing slowly. DH is picking it up really quick. We go up a couple of times a week and practice. That's the only way I'll get it.

Good advice Crankin. Hopefully my neck will be in condition to try something next season, time will tell. I am quite good at learning things on my own...along with the bad habits that come along with that. Hopefully I will be able to find a location in Indiana where I can take a lesson or two without having to purchase equipment first. Anyway, I'm enjoying reading the discussion.

Many places offer lesson rental packages. XC skiing is a sport where you do want lessons. Our nordic club has 2 hour lessons for $30...what's not to love about that?
