Hello,
I am planning to participate in the ski to sea cross country leg of the
race. I am wondering about the level of difficulty as I am a very novice
skier. Is there a lot of down hill or elevation gain? Is this a course
that can be skied in advance for practice? Any other information about this
leg would be appreciated to help prepare for it.
Thank you,
K. Parker |

Your concerns about the course are shared by many other racers, yet (as Mel said) 999 out of 1000 have a great time. That being said, the course has more up and down than most cross-country ski area trails, and conditions can be anything from slush to ice.
The great news, however, is that Ski to Sea is about participating and being part of a team. Many folks who do the cross-country ski leg have not been on cross-country skis prior to the race. My recommendations would be to show up and have a grand time.
