COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL MARCH 29, 2017 5A Cottage Grove Retrospective A look back at a Sentinel story from 40 years ago March 31, 1977 Gliding into spring It’s still too early in the spring to enjoy most outdoor sports. Yet you’re probably itching to get out of the house. You may fi nd this to be the perfect time to try out cross-country skiing. If you like to be outdoors and want some great exercise, you’ll probably love it. Cross-country skiing is an ancient skill which originated in Scandina- via and has been practiced in North America for centuries. But only in the past decade, as more and more people became disillusioned with the rising costs and crowds as- sociated with downhill skiing, has the popularity of cross country skyrock- eted. On a typical weekend, cross coun- try enthusiasts fl ock to areas in the Willamette, Santiam and McKenzie Passes, as well as Mt. Hood and Cra- ter Lake. Beginners often start out on snow-covered roads, while the purists bushwhack to more isolated areas. Ski touring is a very natural thing. It’s similar to running or walking, only each stride is lengthened by a short glide across the snow.

The student had short brown hair, jeans, a green and white striped shirt and no shoes. The school staff were attempt- ing to locate the subject on and off school grounds. March 21 Suspicious Conditions, S. ple pick up the basics their fi rst time out. But to develop and refi ne the technique requires considerable prac- tice and concentration. Learn something about it before you go out for the fi rst time, or defi - nitely go along with some experi- enced friends. Several inexpensive cross country books are available at The Bookmine. Most importantly, go prepared. Temperatures can change suddenly at this time of year. And a fun trek through the snow can be ruined if you don’t take adequate clothing and equipment. Cross country equipment can be rented from most outdoor stores in Eugene from $6 to $8. Various com- binations of boots, binding skis and poles sell for $75-$150. And due to the dry winter, which hurt most retail outlets, several sales are still going on. The 12-mile John Craig Memorial Cross Country race will be held this weekend east of the McKenzie Pass. Take Highway 126 to Sisters and Highway 20 from there to the snow gate.
