Hi

I would like to know what you would recomend for someone getting back
into cross country skiing? I used to ski every winter when i was
younger but now it's been too long i don't know what to look for.
Obviously i am going to go for the wax ski seeing is that i know how
that works and well i is much better. but i'm wondering wether it is
worth getting a package deal at the local sports store or shop
around for something better. Right now i can get the bindings, poles,
boots, and ski's for 300 canadian (no tax) so i'm wondering if i could
get better, and what kind of gear to buy with it.

thank you

Head over to the nearest Canadian Tire and get them there. For me boots,
poles, bindings, and skis were around $200. They are waxless, however, go to
you local ski store, and pick up the cleaner for waxless skis(this prevents
wet snow build up).

Go join a local trail club.

And Just Ski Your Brains Out!!

PS, where are you?
