Product Description

Product Description
In only six inches of snow, in any place, and at any age, anyone can take part in cross-country skiing. It combines safe, low-impact activity with a complete cardiovascular workout: there is simply no healthier total body conditioner. In this guide Jules Older examines technique, equipment, preparations, safety, and ski touring centres, all in a conversational and entertaining style that emphasises the importance of going at your own pace and enjoying the outdoors.

Cross-country skiing is one of those rarest of human activities in which you have prodigious quantities of fun, clear your head of cobwebs, do your body a major favor, and experience all this-the fun, the clarity, the self-improvement-in an extraordinarily beautiful setting. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars What a kick!, 23 Jul 1999
By A Customer
One of the things I love about cross-country skiing is its diversity. Another thing is the easy-going quality -- you just go and enjoy the hell out of it, whether you're skating or track skiing or telemarking or running around the backcountry yodeling. The thing I DON'T like is how many practitioners take it sooo seriously. Jules Older's book is a kick in the pants. He has the right priorities. Whether he's talking about equipment, clothing, technique, skiing with your old dog, even waxing (which attracts the real fanatics!), you feel he's about to giggle. and it's contagious! There's still plenty of useful information; but the context - including photos - makes it fun. If you'd like to learn about a great sport, hear some great stories, and laugh a lot in the process, I'd choose this over any other book! (And yeah, I used to be one of those fanatics; turns out it's more fun to learn and laugh at the same time.)
