And as you drive further into the depths of the majestic Wasatch Mountains, you are baraged by the sight of hundreds of cars with ski racks heading for one of the many local resorts. What awaits them when they get there? Endless lift lines. Overstuffed parking lots. Overpriced hamburgers and noise. After having spent a week in the city you needed to get away from all this. So what you are going to do now? Youre not alone in these feelings. Such thoughts are more and more commonplace among alpine skiers and as a result more are transitioning to the solitude of nordic or cross country becoming skiing. Cross country skiing traces its origins back to the early Scandinavians. Although originally intended for use as a means of winter tran- sportation several changes were initiated in equipment design and philosophy and gradually it became more of a recreational pursuit. In fact, it is from nordic skiing that alpine or downhill skiing originally developed. But something happened along the way. Alpine skiing began to grow at a phenomenal rate while in America its nordic counterpart began to diminish, however, through a growing awareness of physical conditioning, spurred on in part by the current jogging craze and the increasing cost of downhill skiing, cross country skiing is again on the upswing. Each year an increasing number of individuals are returning to the overpowering sensation of freedom and tranquility that can only be experienced while gliding effortlessly over snow covered trails. Perhaps one of the greatest advantages of cross country skiing is the ease with which the beginner can get started. By shopping wisely during the n months it is often possible to get a complete set of cross country equipment for less than the price that many downhillers spend on their boots alone. Once the equipment is obtained pre-seaso- little additional cost is involved. In many cases nordic skiing may be as close as your own backyard or nearby golf course. By travelling a little farther it is also possible to enjoy the splendor of state and national parks, (Some say Yellowstone is best seen in winter) without the hassle of summer crowds. And in most cases the only cost will be the price of gas or a couple dollar trail use fee. A word of caution, however. As in most sports the amount of equipment available may seem overpowering to the beginner. By consulting some of the many books and magazines available on the sport, much information may be gained on what the novice should or shouldnt get. By following this research up with a trip to the local cross ski country specialty shop, knowledgeable salespeople can give much needed advice on brand names and proper fitting of the equipment, once obtained. The styles of equipment are diverse in nature and it is helpful for the novice to know what they are. General touring equipment will be quite suitable for the beginner and will include a wider ski, ankle height boot, three pin binding and flexible bamboo or fiberglass pole. Lightweight touring equipment will emphasize a narrower ski, a boot generally cut below the ankle for more freedom of movement, in most cases a three pin binding and the same type of flexible pole as that used by the general tourer. The remaining two equipment styles are more specialized and the beginner should approach their purchase with extreme caution. The first is racing equipment. Here a very rigid, longer and extremely narrow ski is used, the boot is low cut and closely resembles a track shoe, the binding may be three pin or of a specialized racing design and the poles will be stiffer to prevent wasted energy. The last variety of equipment is used for mountain skiing. Skis used for this purpose are similar in design to those used for alpine skiing. They are wider, heavier and in many cases have steel edges for turning. The bindings are often of a cable variety that extend behind the boot. The boots themselves are high and similar in design to a hiking boot to keep out moisture. And the poles have a much larger round basket to prevent them from sinking into the deep powder frequently encountered in this variety of skiing. Also unique to cross country skiing is waxing; a technique of applying special waxes according to snow temperatures which not only enable the skier to glide downhill but also to climb uphill or propel himself along the flats without the skis slipping back. To avoid the confusion which often results from the proper selection of the numerous waxes available, ski manufacturers have also developed special skis; skis with plastic groved or fishscale bottoms or mohair strips which when mounted on the ski base serve the same function as ski waxes. Clothing for cross country skiing, just as the equipment itself, is lighter than that used for downhill skiing. The basic considerations are that the clothing should be warm while at the same time not restrict body movement. Clothing worn will also vary depending on no-wa- x weather, level of physical conditioning and the proposed length and speed of the tour. It is important here especially on longer tours to take more than the amount of clothing necessary. You can always shed clothing, while on the other hand you may find yourself in serious trouble if you havent brought enough. Once the equipment is obtained it is a simple matter in learning basic technique. While it is possible to teach yourself to cross country ski, it is often quicker and more enjoyable to learn as part of a class taught by a qualified instructor. Individuals with prior skiing experience will find it easy to transition to the skills involved but will probably find it more physically taxing. Therefore it is wise for everyone, skier and non-skialike, to get the approval of a physician before their first touring experience. Cross country skiing involves basic movements designed to propel the skier . bass was pulled out of Lake Powell on October 27, setting a new Utah and Lake Powell record for striped bass.

The the uphill, along basic Kick and glide when alayzed is no more than an extended walk with coordinated arm motion (diagonal. stride) or for more power the arms can be used simultaneously. To climb uphill the skier need only stand with skis together facing across the hill moving the uphill ski upwards and bringing the downhill ski alongside. On more gradual slopes the skier, using the holding quality of his wax, can be shortening his stride ski straight up with little difficulty. As the slope becomes steeper he can continue to climb by pointing the tips of his skis away from each other and bringing the tails together in an inverted V for- mation. To go downhill the skier need only point himself and go, letting the gliding ability of his skis do the work. To turn the skier takes the ski closest to the direction he wishes to turn, points it in that direction and brings the other ski alongside. There are many other techniques involved to help the skier ski more , ' at Junior tryouts Davis Central Instructor: Bonnie Norder Litton and Sharp Carousel Economist - eluded in regulations approved by. the Wildlife Board November 6.
