Toil Free 1-800-461-761 5 * One of the biggest develop- *ments in skiing in the 1970s is the cross-country boom. * Canadians by the thousands *are takmng to the forests and fields to enjoy nature in its 0 quiet wintry beauty. * For many, it is the, ideal :family sport, providing pet of exercise, fresh air and opportunities to socialize at a far Iower cost than most other sports, including the alpine variety of skiing. Cross-country skiing is ai- most as old as mankind, and has been a popular recreation in parts of Europe -for over a century. However, it has only been in the past 50 years the sport bas had even a minimal following in North America and that was centered mainly in the Laurentian Mountains of Quebec. In the past 10 years, though, with the increased interest in sports participation and many Caniadians' realization that winter can be an enjoy- able season, ski touring's popularity bas increased sev- eral hundredfold. Tbere are now an estimnated 11/2 million cross-country skiers in Can- ada. With our long, snowy win- ters and plenty of open terrain, few countries in the world offer the. wonderful cross-country upportunities that Canada does. Since a set of cross-country skis, boots, bindings and poles cost as lîttie as $50.00, it is a recreation well within the range of most family budgets. The development of fibre-, glass skis and bases that do not require wax have sub- stantially- reduced breakage and the inconvenience that waxing once entailed. Cross-country trail net- works have proliferated ac- ross Canada in recent years. They range from- the elab- orate hotel resorts that charge a fee to makeshif t tracks through farmers' fields. Many national and pro- vincial parks now have cross- country facilities. In fact, even city-bound skiers can fînd touring trails in parks and municipal golf courses right in the heart of town. Perhaps the best feature Of cross-country skiing is that almost anyone can do it. The sport requires very little money or athietic ability. Many of the sport's new participants were once con- firmed winter-haters. Their discovery of the joysof brîsk exercise and friendly com- panionship in Canada's beau- tiful winter countryside have made them wishi they bad found cross-country skiing earlier.
