I’ve learned some things today (well, technically yesterday).
- Cross country skiing isn’t especially like riding a bike.
- When going CC skiing for the first time in 25 years, don’t listen to the REI guy’s recommendation for a “killer” place to go… by “killer” he means you–seeing as you’re buying skis, totally dumb, and obviously a beginner–will be “killed” by the numerous falls you will take because of all the hills. Or perhaps by frostbite… seeing as you will soon have a crotch-full of snow in your pants.
- Being that you fell 4 seconds after you strapped the skis on, you might consider this will not be an isolated incident. It might be wise to put your cell phone in a more secure pocket.
- Falling a lot makes one grumpy and in some cases (including this one), cold/wet.
- Snow does not know how to answer a cell phone… no matter how often you call it.
- It’s a good idea to keep a spare hippie around. They come in handy when trying to find small devices in the snow at night.
