    X-C skiing is a great complement activity to cycling, and yes it feels much better than walking
    after you learn how to ski properly. It seems that 95% of skiers I meet shuffle along rather than
    ski, somewhat due to the skiis they use. For my wife, bicycling is second on her list of activities,
    after skiing. I put skiing #2. Right now we have several feet of snow in Central New York. Little
    breezy today.

    Skiing is boring so I do snowboarding 😉 Good for muscle strenght and muscle endurance in your
    legs. I should do some cross country skiing though, for that basic endurance conditioning...

    Boarding is nowhere near the physical exercise that xc skiing is. Fun though.
