Both require plenty of snow and open spaces; skis are used for flotation and con- trolling direction and, of course, either way you get to enjoy the outdoors in winter. Have you ever con- sidered going both ways, on the same day? Snowmobile to the area you wish to "ski-tour", put on your skiing equipment and head into the wilds. After you have had enough of making your own way, your waiting machine offers a change of pace. Cross-country skis are thinner, more flexible, nar- rower and lighter than downhill skis.

EE "Old Man Winter' warns: sweets. It's time to begin thinking about = changing your summer driving habits to accommodate winter high- ways. Why? Because winter driving has its own special problems. The temperature drops, batteries and engines be- come balky. Deep snow and ice make the going rough. Early darkness, mist condensation inside windows, slush and salt on the vehicles all add to your difficulties. Prepare Yourself Mentally ..

Ski-touring en- thusiasts wear lightweight clothing including knickers and colorful knee stockings. Ski clothing is preferable to snowmobile wear due to the extra exertion and vigorous striding required. When going cross-coun- try, use a gliding walk, much like skating. Special light ski poles aid in main- taining balance and thrust- ing forward across the snow. Once you attain the rhythm, it is relatively easy to traverse even rolling country without difficulty.

What to do if you get stuck Don't'gun it. You'll just get your car in deeper. First, turn the wheels from side to side to get the snow away from the front tires, then ease forward gently.
