Cross-country skiing (also known as XC skiing) is a winter sport popular in many countries with large snowfields, primarily Northern Europe and Canada. The popularity of the sport has been quickly growing in the United States.
Cross-country skiing is part of the Nordic skiing sport family, which also includes ski jumping, and a combination sport of cross-country skiing and ski jumping called Nordic combined. Free-technique cross-country skiing is also the method of locomotion in the combination sport of Biathlon, which adds rifle marksmanship to skiing.

So much snow in the air, can't see more than a few meters! Might be some cross country skiing this weekend in preparation for Vasaloppet.

Okay, road cycling is right out for now. How about cross-country skiing? It's, I guess, what we do when we can't ride outside. Right?!
