Cross-Country Ski-Ing (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Cross-Country Ski-Ing For his first season the following are essential he must possess good skis, a pair of ski-ing boots, two ski sticks, sealskins, a rucksack and two or three pairs of gloves and some protection for his ears if the weather turns cold. This complete outfit can be purchased for less than a five-pound note. Whereas the golfer is always having to buy new balls, the ski runner who treats his skis properly will find that a good pair of skis will last him for several seasons. Equipment for ski-ing is really ridiculously cheap as compared with such sports as golf or fishing.
