Up ahead, an instructor wearing black stretch pants, a nylon windbreaker, and dark goggles digs her metal-edged skis into the snow, accomplishing a nearly perfect telemark turn. Behind her, another skier, dressed in wool knickers and a fisherman's sweater, glides along on machine-set tracks, basking in the sunshine and breathing deep the dry, cold air. Scenes like this one, which you'll see at cross-country ski areas across the United States, say volumes about how the sport has grown in the past 50 years. With so many ways to enjoy it, cross-country skiing has become appealing to a large assortment of people. It's one of the top sports for low-impact cardiovascular exercise, and a good way to enjoy the wintery outdoors. 1 of 7 INTRODUCTION CHOOSING... FAVORITE TRIPS SOURCES Fodor's
