Skiing In Winter - Hard Work But More Of A Thrill

Whilst you can go skiing on a dry slope at any time of year, it does not give the same thrill as skiing on real snow, and often the runs are all too short before you have to catch the lift backup again. Although it is now possible to ski indoors on real snow in a snow dome in certain parts of the country, but snow domes are expensive to build and run and hence this can prove to be an expensive way of going skiing!

Some dry ski slopes even offer sledging sessions where you can take your children sledging as well.

However skiing really is a pursuit that like sledging is best carried out in Winter on real snow and ice. As when it comes to going skiing or sledging then nothing beats doing it on real snow.

Real skis can be used in the United Kingdom in Winter, but it can be hard work carrying heavy skis uphill, and walking in solid heavy boots, and for most people it is simply too tiring to do regardless of the thrill of skiing downhill. Also they are not easy to use on the flat. However there is an alternative in Winter and that is cross country skis. Indeed cross country skiing can only really be experienced on real snow (Although you can get ones with rollers on to use in Summer), and a pair of cross country skis can help you get around in snowy conditions that are impassible in a car, enabling you to not only get to the shops or go to see friends but also to keep fit as well.

Their main advantage is that you need no ski lift to use them, so they can be used anywhere at any time in Winter.

Also unlike normal skis they are very lightweight and do not require the wearing of heavy ski boots to use them. Instead you use lightweight boots that clip into them. This combined with the lightweight of the cross country skis means that they are a great form of transport in Winter as they can be easily removed when needs be. Indeed cross country skis are used in alpine resorts abroad in much the same way that we use mountain bikes to get around.

Once you have purchased a pair of cross country skis they will last for years and can prove a godsend to getting around in Winter as well as keeping you fit.
