Or, for about ten dollars, one can pick up a terrific old pair of wood or fiberglass cross country skis at someone's garage sale.
Just imagine....no greasefittings...no gasoline...no trailer...no insurance...no registration....no very stinky two-stroke oil stench that stinks up your clothes and the air...and no noisy snowmobile....and when there is no snow on the trails....you can leave the skis on the cartop and go hiking. ...imagine that
