There is a lot of good information in here, but I think it's a little skewed toward the rabidly athletic who have money to burn. These are my guidelines for xc ski dress. 1) What are you doing? Are you skate skiing? Dress like you would for a run in similar weather. Classic? Dress like you would for a hike. 2) Who are you going with? Kids, parents, newbies? Add a layer.

My wool poncho from Mexico is a favorite! 4) Cotton kills! But so does overthinking and judgmental attitudes!

When my kids were younger, I frequently worked out at the playground while they played. Frequently, I was "it" in epic games. Try chasing a 7 year old through a jungle gym. It is a heckuva workout!
