The way to dress for cross-country skiing is to wear layers. This
will enable you to stay warm without getting too hot or cold. The above
list takes this into account. The list is complete as to required items
and includes some personal items also. You are welcome to bring other
items as you choose. Remember: Even if the weather is sunny in town or
at the trailhead you should still bring plenty of warm clothes.
