, she was excited to stab at the snow with her poles—tools most young skiers forgo in alpine.
We aimed to complete an easy and mostly flat mile-long trail, looping around the golf course. The path began with a hill, which meant she’d have little control at the start of our voyage. I worried my daughter would hate how she couldn’t pizza-stop as easily, and how she’d dread using her strength to cross flat ground. To my delight, however, she loved it, appreciating the sport for both the quality of exercise and the fun. Even the fun of falling.

She studied the old skis, the way a young slugger might marvel atUltimately, my change of plans paid off, but if you’d rather ease a child into cross-country skiing, there are several ways to get them excited to try this invigorating sport.
But cross-country skiing is much different than alpine: “The barriers to entry for cross country skiing are very low, and the experience is much more user friendly,” Brown says.On a snowy day in my neighborhood, I often opt to ski out the front door instead of loading my skis into the car to find better terrain in the woods and at the nearby golf course. There’s a small window between the time the snow gets packed down in the streets and when the plow comes through to reveal the asphalt.
If you’re towing a kid behind you, make sure the rope is double the length of your poles, as you don’t want to spear your offspring. For better protection, kids should wear their ski goggles and parents should never swing back their poles, which, for the most part, stay low and aren’t a real hazard.If you’ve ever seen a parent jogging with their infant in a runner’s stroller, a pulk is the cross-country-skiing equivalent.
