More Flavor: Sports See and Ski Beverly Hills

Unlike the often difficult, expensive, and outright scary sport of downhill skiing, cross-country skiing is easy to learn and a fantastic workout for every major muscle group. The activity originated as a hunting technique in prehistoric Scandinavia, but today, it's just plain snowy-weather fun. Newbies and aficionados alike are invited to trek through Dan Ryan Woods on Sunday afternoons when four or more inches of snow blanket the ground. Meet at Beverly Bike and Ski, where owner Paul Weise greets skiers with hot chocolate and equipment rentals as needed, and call ahead to arrange for a seasoned cross-country vet for help if you've never swooshed across the trails before.
