Cross-country skiing is another
_winter_sport _that—Rocky-Raccoon
has recently looked into, Known
also as Ski touring or Nordic Skiing,
this method of getting across all
types of snow covered -terrain on
skiis, is' said to be the second
fastest means of winter transporta-
tion. (second only' to the snowmo-
bile).
For more than 5,000 years,
Scandanavian peoples •have used
cross-country skis. to travel, from
one community' to another. Canad-
ians generally get involved in
dross-country, or XC skiing, to stay
in shape, enter competition, or to
simply enjoy the experience that
the sport provides in the outdoors.
Cross-country skiing is presently
one of the fastest growing sports in
Canada. Reasons for this popular-
ity include the fact that people of
any age can cross-country ski. The
experts claim that if you can walk,
you can cross-country ski.
