Every year 2.3 million people take to the snow for an activity that's fun for everyone.
Cross country skiing is an exercise that can become a lifelong fitness activity for you and your family. Not only is it advocated by medical professionals as the best sport for cardiovascular work, but it is also a fun, low stress workout that can be enjoyed almost anywhere. On-campus trails behind the Terraces make it easy to enjoy anytime. And with equipment rentals for $10 a weekend for skis, poles, and boots from the Outdoor Recreation Equipment Center, located in the Fitness Center, its an inexpensive way to enjoy the weekend. So get out and get started in a fitness sport that can be enjoyed for a lifetime. For more information on the benefits and joys of cross country skiing, visit www.xcski.org.
