AT this time of year,
roadways, bike trails
and walking paths are
uninviting.

No worries -—~- you can
still get some exercise and
enjov the great outdoors.
Snow is evervwhes and in
record abundance on the
local mountains.

The Cypress Bowl Cross
Country Ski Area is no
exception and is tracked for
classic skiing and groomed
for skate skiing, and lit at
night for both rechniques.

You can’t find a berter
place for fun this snowy sea-
son.

You can cross country ski
in three different ways: the
original telemark technique;
the traditional classic and
the more recent skating
technique.

Each technique uses spe-
cialized equipment designed
specifically sor that tech-
nique. Skate skiing is the
most dynamic of the three,
and features shorter skis and
fonger poles than the tradi-
tional style.

Skate skiing is similar to
roller blading or in-line skat-
ing on pavement — but
without the road rash. The
emphasis is on a strong ski

push with a long slide.

Beginners can pick up
the basics quickly. Batance,
body position and timing
are importart elements that,
once mastered, make the
skating technique look
graceful and effortless.

There is lots to fearn
when taking up, or return-
ing to cross-country skiing,
and lessons really speed up
the learning curve.

So come on up, get out
onto the snowy trails and
learn some new skills.

If your New Year's reso-
lutions include more exer-
cise, less stress and enjoying
the outdoors, come cross
country skiing. The trails
await.

Bowl cross-country shi school
