I asked a receptionist about a ski school because I'd never experienced cross-country skiing before. She introduced me the ski school at the village and booked it for me. They had 2 courses： ( 50 minutes and 90 minutes ). Then she recommended me the longer one.

The ski school is located at the foot of Mt. Ylläs. I could go there by the ski buses which operate between the village center and the ski slope 5 to 6 times a day stopping each lodge.

After checking in, they introduced me a male instructor and we shook hands. He's in his early 20's with very shiny white skin for a ski instructor, long brown hair, beautiful blue eyes, long arms and long legs. And he's a typical handsome caucaisian guy with tall, slim, and fit body figure. Probably female students can't focus on the lesson because of his beauty.

I told him my foot size and height and rented the gears.

They measured me like this. It was my 1st experience!!

The gears for cross-country skiing Poles and skis are much shorter and thiner than the ones for down-hill skiing.

To be continued!!
