It's all this newsgroups fault that I am trying to deal with my age,
ride my bike, and stop whining. Thanks guys. What a group. I am also
trying that cross country ski thing when I am in Lake Tahoe next week.

My belated recommendation would be to try snowshoeing instead.
After snowshoeing for the first time last winter I doubt I'll
ever ski again - loved every second of it.
