Cross-Country Skiing

Why You Should Like Nordic Skiing:

Cross Country skiing is a winter sport, so athletes dont't have to worry about over heating, but athletes can always dress warmer for cold weather. Athletes race alone so they can control everything about their result, with team sports you could play better than anyone on the opposing team but your teamates could play poorly and produce a bad result for the whole team. Even though you don't compete with a team the team aspect of the sport is still there outside of racing. There are not a long list of things to do ouside in the winter, Cross Country skiing is part of that list, it gives you something fun to do, outside in a season where it is hard to get outside. And the last reason I can provide is that strong communities are usually formed around this sport.
