Top Ten Reasons to Enjoy Cross Country Skiing with the Carlton Trail Ski Club
Top Ten Reasons to Enjoy Cross Country Skiing with the Carlton Trail Ski Club
- FUN. Once you get out there, it’s hard not to enjoy yourself.
- SOCIAL. It can be extra fun (and motivating) when you’re with others, and the Carlton Trail Ski Club (CTSC) facilitates a number of opportunities to get together with others through lessons, outings, and events.
- FITNESS. Cross country skiing is the number one aerobic exercise. Skiing at a moderate pace, a 175-pound man can burn as many as 800 calories in an hour. Circulation improves. Blood pressure lowers. Every muscle group is used. It is low-impact. It is one of the best things you can do for your body.
- Easy access to quality FACILITIES. CTSC grooms trails in Humboldt at the golf course. CTSC also grooms trails out at the Dixon site, 18 km NW of Humboldt. The Dixon site also has a clubhouse (heated on weekends). There are also other great places not too far from Humboldt with groomed trails.
- ALL AGES. People can start cross country skiing when they are two years old and continue into their nineties. One of Humboldt’s regular skiers two years ago was in his late eighties. You can ski at your own pace and your skiing session can be as long (or short) as you choose.
- LIFETIME activity. Cross country skiing is an activity you can continue to do indefinitely in your lifetime.
- EASY TO LEARN. Cross country skiing is a lifetime sport that won’t take a lifetime to learn. A lesson or two at a cross country ski area and you’re off and gliding for the rest of your life.
- AFFORDABILITY. Although people have to pay to use the CTSC (or other) facilities, the CTSC fees are very affordable. Should you choose to buy newer, lighter, more advanced equipment, a person can get into a good used set for under $200 if they look hard enough, or a good new set for under $400. Think of it as an investment in your health and enjoyment.
- WINTER ACTIVITY. Many people are more sedentary in the winter. Cross country skiing works for your mind and spirit, as well as your body. Here is a great way to get outdoors during the winter months.
- FAMILY. Cross country skiing is a great way to engage the whole family in a healthy, fun, social activity. It can be part of family travel plans, or part of a romantic couples getaway.
