Haha, x country is challenging. It's the only kind of skiing I've ever done; downhill is too hard on my knees and scares me anyway. Unfortunately, this year, little snow up at Tahoe. But last year I got a lot of x country in. x country is highly aerobic as well. Riding is something I can do every day for free, though, and skiing costs me $ every time.
