We are used to seeing plenty of visitors to the local XC center in full blown downhill clothing. Yesterday I saw multiple folks wearing goggles. One guy in particular was dressed like he was riding the lifts, including goggles AND a helmet! As we zipped past, he said something to the effect of 'this is much harder than it looks'.

I may have been the gaper this weekend. My son and I were at Beaver Creek, and were taking a break so we went to the newly named "Cookie Cabin". We were denied cookies and hot chocolate.... being told " This is a service only for people taking lessons".
The woman behind the counter seemed nice enough, but not able to respond to my "Well.. I'm teaching him how to ski, give me a cookie and a hot chocolate"
This might be the first place my son has been asked to leave.... not bad for a 7 year old.

That's better than people wearing full blown XC clothes at the dowhill area. The helmet and goggles are funny, or maybe they just don't own fuzzy hats and needed something to keep their heads warm. : )
You're not the gaper. Beaver Creek is the gaper. I mean--who can deny a 7 year old a cookie?

That cookie costs $700.

I can imagine what Moms reply is to getting 86 @ the Cookie Cabin.

You’re still taking girls to the “roofie cabin”?
I didn't believe in reincarnation when I was your age either.

So if I ever decide to rent some XC skis I need go buy spandex too? I can’t just wear the only real snow clothes I have? I didn’t know they could only be used for downhill. What about snowshoes? Is there something I need to wear for them too? Can you please reference a guide for me so I know the proper costume to wear for XC should I ever decide to do it?

Don't need any costume. DH clothing would be way too warm.

Yes, have you ever been xc skiing, skate or classic? Unless it's really cold, bike shorts or tights and jersey would be more appropriate than gear you would wear for ski touring let alone downhill garb. Think of it this way, in cold temps would you wear the same thing going for a hike as you would for a trail run?
