By downloading this PDF file you acknowledge that Cross Country Skiing, like many other outdoor activities, especially in winter, carries the risk of personal injury. This information is not intended to take the place of professional cross country ski instruction. A Beginners Guide to Cross Country Skiing (Requires Acrobat Reader) FYI: On February 16, 2010, this document was removed for about 8 months because a woman misinterpreted a single sentence about how to make a snowplow turn. In her email she threatened me with "...crash and hold you responsible for misinformation". I started this document in 1999 and have received nothing but positive feedback about it. I didn't think that type of c**p is warranted for something I do for no other reason than to help someone else out. Many of you have written and convinced me that "a single stupid-person from the comfortable anonymity of their keyboard (should not) ... be allowed to affect what the rest of us would like to enjoy..." In response, I have re-posted the document. I have enjoyed corresponding with so many of you in the last year, and I hope this information is useful to you. Non-threatening comments and questions are welcomed. --Mike mike@prnt4u (DOT) com Those of you with a certain sense of humor might enjoy: "Death Be Not Proud" a parody about beginning XC skiing. It was given to me by Claire Hiller many, many years ago. Its NOT an instructional guide, so don't try anything it says, ever!
