Skinny skiing: Cross country experiencing growth in popularity
8 comments | Read story
cheap--here in Oregon we have so much free back country available that the gas to get there is the only cost
unpretentious--no fashion show in the wilderness
strenuous exercise--if you want to top that mountain, you're on your own (no lazy lift)
solitude--no lines, few people, total quiet
Too often I hear of XC skiers who are beligerant to snowmobillers and refuse to let them pass on the trails, and try to get the forest service to ban snowmobilles, and even commit violent acts against snowmobillers. I'm sure not all XC skiers are that way, but XC skiing is quickly getting a very NEGATIVE image in the snowmobilling community becasue of the rudeness of some of the XC skiers and the atrocities they commit.

Meanwhile, the snowmobillers are paying for the groomed trails and warming huts that the skiers feel they have a right to use (that's were the fees for licencing a snowmobille go you know). XC skiers should be grateful, not hateful. Then everyone could enjoy our marvelous outdoors they way they wish to...motorized or otherwise.
