10A Wednesday, November 16,1983 Daily Nexus W Ê Ê s m Cross-Country: Peaceful Skiing By DEBBIE CHURCHILL I am a cross country skier. Downhill skiers often snub me claiming that cross country skiing lacks the excitement and challenge of downhill skiing. Cross country skiing has four things going for it over downhill skiing: it is peaceful, it’s cheap, it’s easy and it’s good for you. If you enjoy camping and hiking in the summer you will enjoy cross country skiing. Cross country skiing is just like hiking except for one minor difference — the snow. Unlike downhill, cross country equipment is light-weight and provides for easy movement. Cross country skis are long and narrow “ boards” which distribute your weight, holding you up on the snow. Cross country boots are surprisingly like running shoes. They are light and flexible, nothing like the thick heavy boots used for downhill. They are made of leather or nylon uppers which let your feet “ breathe.” Your ski boots attach to the ski only by a leather toe binding so that your heel is free to help you in your gliding, and heel plates on the skis help keep your heel from slipping sideways. Cross country equipment is much less expensive than downhill equipment. Rentals are usually around $7.50 a day for skis, boots and poles. If you wish to buy your equipment you can buy a good cross country ski package for $150 as opposed to the $450 you would pay for downhill equipment. As far as clothing, anything goes. I have seen people wear anything from the traditional Norwegian ski suit with wool knickers, sweaters and tall fur , to a skimpy ! The key to dressing for cross country skiing is layers of clothing. It may be 20 degrees, but once you start skiing, it is hard to be cold. Wear several lightweight garments instead of one heavy to balance the heat easier. Bathing suits and shorts are great for spring skiing and there is no better way to bronze your body for the Santa Barbara beaches. are alright for a short cross country trip, but for long-trips they can absorb moisture, freeze, and fail to keep you warm. Wool is the best fabric for the cold because it takes the moisture away from your body and evaporates it. Other recommended clothing are: ( ankle covers which keep snow out of your boots and off the bottom of your pants), a , light wool gloves, a wool ski (this is very important, over 70 percent of your body heat is lost through your head and neck region), and wool socks. As you ski you can shed your layers and remember the skiers motto: take clothes off before you get hot and put some on before you get cold. Like hiking, when you cross country ski, remember to take food and fluid. High energy snacks such as trail mix and protein bars are good to help you keep going.

When I was finally able to stand unsteadily upon my childish legs they gleefully strapped me into a pair of skis, threw me onto a chairlift and waved goodbye. And so I progressed; from childhood to adolescence, from bunny-hills to moguls. I also progressed through a large assortment of ski equipment, all of it handed down, traded in, and much abused. The last of the line was a scratched and chipped pair of skis whose only redeeming quality was that no one in their right mind would steal them. This year when I pulled the warped creatures out of my closet I decided that it was time for me to make an investment in my equipment. I began collecting information on equipment at various local ski shops. Jim Schankel, the manager at Copeland’s Sports, 1230 State Street, was par­ ticularly helpful. SKIS Ski design can be broken down into three categories, or lines. These lines correspond roughly to the beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels of ability. There are various names for the lines the most common being: recreational, sportline and racing. Each brand name company manufactures one or more skis in each of these lines. Beginning or nonaggressive skiers should look for a ski in a recreation line. A recreational ski is lightweight, versatile, and forgiving. A good recreational ski is soft in the extremities allowing it to turn easily. Skis at this level are usually worn short for of handling. Dynastar carries three skis in its recreation line, Rossignol carries four, Olin carries two. ntermediate skiers should look for a ski that provides quickness combined with stability. Sportline skis usually still have a degree of soft flex but it is combined with a more radical side cut. Skiers at this level usually wear their skis head height to 5 or 10 centimeters above the head. Sportline skis come in a wide variety and are aimed at the skier who skis to progress. Racing line skis are designed just for that. They are high performance skis designed for “ Can I adjust your bindings fo r you? ” s e a h m . precision at top speeds. Most racing line skis are worn approximately 15 centimeters above the head. When asked to suggest a good all around ski, Schankle cited Rossignol’s STS, Dynastar’s Dynasty and Omesoft, and P R E ’s 1200 as a few of his favorites. The majority of skis range "N from $150 to $300 at their regular price. Ski sales are frequent, however; so the smart »Quality is shopper can make good buys in the off season. Once you have a good pair of skis, it is important to keep them tuned. Tuning consists of filing the base, sharpening the edges and also detuning, or dulling the front edge. A hot never an accident; wax is also suggested after every four to five uses. BOOTS Boots are another major area of ski equipment. Ski boots are also arranged in lines it is always the corresponding to skier ability. The further up a line you go the stiffer the boots become. Stiff boots lend support for the more advanced skier. The single most important factor in selecting a is comfort. Uncomfortable boots are a useless misery on the slopes. There result of intelligent are a wide variety of boot designs on the market today. Back buckle boots are very popular for their convenience, allowing the skier easy entry and even the freedom to loosen them in long lift lines. One of the newest procedures on the market is called Ther- effort.« mofit. Thermofit has been used in Europe for the past few years but has recently hit the - John Ruskin - American market. Thermofit consists of heating a special aluminum in the liner of the boot and then custom fitting the boot to the foot. This is a different method from the wax filled mold popular a few years back which has had problems with cracking.
