- 10 Essentials
- Note 1: Chaperones, please consider carrying most of your little skiers supplies. A hip pack with water and small snack is ideal for xc skiing. Heavy, bulky packs, even daypacks restrict shoulder motion and make efficient pole use challenging.
- Note 2: XC skiing can be highly aerobic. In general you can dress more lightly than you would for hiking in similar temperatures.
