Before you go cross country skiing you should have skis and warm clothes and take at least one lesson on how to ski
Practice keeping your arms and legs moving together rhythmically. Skiing in the classical style is a little like walking and running, only with really long skinny duck feet and poles. Push your heel down into the ski of your front leg. Put all your weight on this leg and lean forward. Now with your back foot, kick forward to send the ski into a glide. Swing your arms and repeat.

Know how to scooter, snowplow, herringbone and, of course, fall. All these skills will help you navigate the terrain safely and keep you enjoying cross-country skiing.
