Have you ever tried cross country skiing?
No, I've never tried cross-country skiing. I do a lot of alpine skiing though.
wow alpine skiing that must be fun!  is it scary?
No it's not scary at all. In fact, it's easy enough that people with physical disabilities can go skiing as well. It's called para-alpine skiing.
do you mean that someone who is in a wheelchair can go skiing?
Yep. They use a device called a sit-ski along with outrigger skis to help control themselves. You'd probably want to start with an alpine skiing instructor before trying it solo though.
I actually have to use a wheelchair and always assumed I couldn't go skiiing so this is interesting for me to learn
Outrigger ski
Outrigger skis are skis that are used by para-skiers to assist with balance, turn, control their speed, stop and amplify the direction of turns. They vary in size and height, and include different features. Depending on the total number of skis used by the skier, outrigger configuration is sometimes called "Three Track Skiing" or "Four Track Skiing". When falling, skiers are taught to move their arms to prevent falling on the outrigger and injuring themselves.
