coming in two forms, classic or skate, nordic skiing is the original and hardest way to ski. you use every muscle in your body, and race 5-50k. an average practice for high school is 10-15 miles.
classic is a back and forth motion, primarily using your arms
skate is similar to skating on ice, except you also use your arms some, but mainly legs.
there is no stopping because of....
too cold
too long
bad wax
bad snow
sore muscles
darkness
season (skis with wheels)
the coolest sport known to man. also it is the best form of skiing (other being downhill) known to this day because ones that participate will be in way better shape and should, could, and will kick anyones ass who does Alpine.

When you tie someone to the back of a car and drag them around the streets. Done in order to seriously annoy people.
Hey, did you hear about that guy who didn't pay the gang what they wanted? He got taken on a little Canadian water skiing trip. I haven't heard from him.
