it is great. i am an avid skiier who has had a leg injury (acl avulsion) and find cross country skiing a great way of staying in shape. you get a better work out from it and it is also less expensive. it is more social then down hill skiing too and almost anyone can do it.hope this helps

It is quite strenuous so to get the most out of it you need to get fit first. I am also going to do it in Pamps at Xmas this year (I'm not able to do downhill any more) - I have booked the pack but the only problem is I will be on my own so will probably book lessons (though it is not really necessary) as I don't want to set off alone (no sense of direction at the best of times ). I'd like to try snowshoe walking as well - does anyone have any info about this?
