I've used the rentals to introduce both friends and family to it, though I don't know that any have really taken to it like I have. <br /><br />I know a few people who have used kids skis to build gear sleds/pulks to pull behind them. I just use a regular plastic toboggan. But then if you can find a real live kid to use the skis, so much the better!Matt Maxwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992892551754581628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25706603.post-38454343456332504042012-10-22T21:25:04.595-05:002012-10-22T21:25:04.595-05:00From a fellow nordic ski lover to another, thanks ...From a fellow nordic ski lover to another, thanks for the post! It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one with half-a-dozen skies. At at least our sport has cheap gear available at garage sales and thrift shops. <br /><br />I'm hoping to build up a small supply so that I can introduce my friends and family members to the sport. For this reason, I purchased a pair of german 70cm kids skis at a thrift shop for $4. Needless to say I'm not married and don't have any kids!<br /><br />Thanks for blogging! I look forward to following you!<br /><br />Jonathan<br />IllinoisJSchlesingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06491380134940548003noreply@blogger.com
