<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hey everyone, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm a big fan of x-country skiing, but more
importantly it's a basic life skill in Minnesota. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Amy and I did the Minnesota Youth Ski League last
winter and loved it. With kids as young as ours (4-5) one of us "skis" with them
during class while the other gets to do some regular skiing. We're at the Baker
program, but there are programs at most the x-country ski areas in the twin
cities. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Classes are structured to the age group. Young kids
play alot of games and older kids do some real skiing. I think most classes are
Sunday afternoon. Schedule runs through January and February. Parents can be
plodders or racers, all welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's super fun, super easy, inexpensive, and a
great experience for the kids. </FONT></DIV>
