CROSS-COUNTRY - Kids

About

First, cross-country skiing has become “cool”. As more kids take up cross-country skiing, more kids become interested. Second, cross-country skiing is a fun way to get outside and exercise in winter. Third, cross-country skiing is more affordable than alpine skiing. Make sure XC skiing is fun for the child; this means avoiding strenuous hills and scary out-of-control downhill runs. The key is for your child to have a positive experience on the first few XC ski outings. It may be easier (and a good decision) to have your child begin with a qualified instructor in a class with other kids.
