I went out for my first skate ski endeavor. The basic motion came somewhat easily. However, getting up the hills was a struggle! I almost lost my balance several times on the flat, but only fell on the one hill that I usually fall on! I ended up doing just over 5K. I stayed in the Lower Stadium and Twin Lakes area doing a couple loops of the flat in the Twin Lakes and only doing the longer loop once. I need to work on the hills part before I do the full loop! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
