You will notice the normal shoes for cross coun- Spilis and thrills vs. relaxing woodllands With the growing cost of downhil) equipmnent, tow tick- ets and memnbership fees many people seem to be picking up a sport that has been lef t behind. This sport is of course, Cross Country Skiing. Upon taking a close look at this new version of an old sport, we find it much cheaper to get started in and much cheaper to continue in after your initial cost. To buy medium priced equipment you can count on spending about $75.00. This should get you poles, boots, skiis and bindings. one should take notice at this point that cross country equipment cannot be used for downilli or vice versa. One advantage of this sport, if you live in a rural area or even in the suburbs of a larger town, is the fact you can start righit from your backdoor without, even get- tîng into your car, thius saving money on gas. The thoughts of taking a trait through an unspoiled woodland area seemn to be very inviting; to me. Once you get into the woods there are no crowds or line-ups for tows, altbough sometimes a tow would comne in handy a[ the bottom of somne trait blils. Out on the trail you are close to a quiet freedom. Just the caîl of an occassional bird or the scurrying of an odd squirrel to disturb the quiet woodland. You might take a trail leading over a frozen beaver dam or along side a running river. The scenery is what makes the day. In our area there ar-e several places one can go to cross country ski that have marked trails or there are plenty of areas to ski with no trails. From this we can see cross country skiing as a quiet relaxing sport that the whole family can participate in together and have an enjoy- able time. Now that we have had a look at cross country skiing lets take a look at the ever popular downhill sport. The average person when buying equipmnent for downhill skiing could expect to spend up to $300.00 to get started. How- ever, there are packages one can buy for the beginner that cost much less. We are now ready to head te the siopes for an enjoyable day of skiing. In rnost cases a hialf hour drive will get us to the his for excellent skiing. ffyou are the more adventur- «Con t inued pa ge 6) Orono E Iectric Hlerb and Gerry fluvail 983-5108 ELECTRICAL CONTRACTING ELECTRIC HEATING Electrical Appliances T.V.. - COLOUR T.V.
