> I do cross country! It is fun, less expensive than downhill.

YES!!! No time limits, no lines, no fee. I live next to a world-class ski mountain, or so I'm told, I haven't used it in years, but I only XC. 'Course, I don't have any equipment that fits and I can't justify replacing everything to be used only during Christmas break, and there's nobody I can borrow from, so I'll be going without this year, but I still love XC skiing. 'Cousre, they're grooming all the best trails for skating now. I'm a classical person, meself. The only good part is less people on the other trails. I just have to *find* the other trails. Secret Trail is still pretty untouched. Living up to its name.
