I Tried CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING! | Miranda in the Wild 

Nala having the time of her life out there. We should all try to be more like Nala.

Thank you REI for these videos! @Miranda’s vibe makes them extra nice 👍🏽 🏕 ❄️

It’s not Miranda if there isn’t a poop interlude. 🤣

I loved that Miranda's first instinct for turning on the lights was that there might be a Clapper in the hut. :D 11:54

The gift of imperfection 👏🏻 The magic happens outside our comfort zone. 💪🏻

Is it really nature without Miranda yelling in it?

I have no idea why I keep watching these videos, it makes me want to go camping and cross country skiing lol

Miranda’s energy and attitude are the best!

You should bring your crew up to Canada and we can do a trip out in the Canadian Rockies next winter! Or come join me for a couple days on the Great Divide Trail this summer!

To begin with - You are just lovely. I love your goofiness if you don’t mind me saying. I admire the editing (big up film editor!). I’m in love with the videos from my head to toes. The videos are of course very informative (a lot of good hints, thank you!), but the gosh darn is just… I’m dumbfounded. About skiing (cross country skiing is basically called just skiing here in Finland) - You did good. I guess you haven’t done it too much, but you did really good. Hint: You could use your midriff / abdominal muscles a bit more, and maybe have longer kicks, further back. Consider also bringing your hands closer to your body. All who wonder if they could do it, just go out and do it. It’s fun. You’ll fall couple of times in the beginning, but it’s snow, it won’t hurt. There’s a point when you get the idea of smooth synchronized movement of hands and the feet combined with the midriff and then you’re going forward in a pretty fast pace. And no, I’m not a skiing teacher either; I’m just a Finn who has learnt the skill when I was a kid. If you and your crew ever consider taking your show abroad, consider Finland. It’s a lot like Washington or Canada, but there’s a lot less harm of the bears. We have a lot of reindeers though, in Lapland, they won’t try to steal your food. And Santa Claus, he doesn’t either. And not too much covid-19 - we’ve been lucky. Try to imagine a goofier country than any of your videos - that’s us. The midnight sun is just around the corner, a lot of summer trekking to do.

10:58 - Awww 😢 11:00 - Yay! ☺️😂 I hope we get the full version soon! I’m glad you survived the blister and the almost darkness to adventure another day!

Miranda, your ebullient and joyful nature is infectious. You make getting a blister sound fun. I hope you enjoyed your adventure.

I have such great memories of that valley and those huts, that place is amazing!

Wow Miranda you have the energy to power all of North America. I love your enthusiasm!!

That was a nice trip. Im not a winter camper but this made me think about it.

Had no idea this existed, looks like an amazing time. Constantly blown away at all the PNW has to offer, love this series!

Her scoff gives me Alex Honnold vibes

Probably one of my new favorite channels.

Thank you REI and Miranda. It was fun.

That was one of the nicest outhouses I've ever seen. It was even painted inside and had a toilet seat!

Omg! That looks SOOOO fun!!

Hey there Miranda, Nala and the crew! Loved this, especially your pink cheeks, so cute! I grew up in Québec, and used to x-country ski as a kid. The one thing I kept thinking when you were going downhill was… »Miranda bend your knees, bend your knees… »it’ll lower your centre of gravity and therefore lessen the chances of falling 🤩 Yey! Cheers from 🇨🇦

Happy to know I'm not the only one who falls over standing still. On both skis and snowshoes. lol

You are a beautiful person. Thank you for sharing your adventurers!

Yaaaa... another adventure!!

I haven't cross country'd in years. It is a good time and seriously under rated. Props to the videographer shooting smoothly in reverse in the tracks too. And how come you don't call your poop commentary poopologues? :)

I can't believe I only now discovered your videos. Love them!

First time checking a video on this channel cause I am looking to get into cross country skiing... Only 4 minutes in and already loving it! 😊

I love dogs play in the snow

You make really good, fun, and informative vids

Go Miranda! This video gives me life :)

Aways a fun video, Thank you!

You should train Nala to pull! She seems to have the energy for it!

I love watching these videos :) ❤❤❤

I have enjoyed the view and i had lot s of fun with you. Good video 👍

Hahaha, like a Care Bear...nailed it.

Miranda, You can use your pole tip to twist open the bindings.

looks like a nice groomed trail One must place their hand through the straps so as to have more effort from the wrists instead of gripping the poles tightly and expending energy on gripping the poles a more relaxed grip

"Care Bear Sweat" -- First time I heard of it, but understood instantly! ... And what was the "poop" count? Did anyone track it? ... And thanks for giving an overview of cross-country skiing! I've never skied, so it was nice to see how you could do it while camping!

I just started cross country, and I also like it a lot.

The world needs more Mirandas.

You and the dog make it look easy going down hill.

The North Cascades Mountain Hostel in Winthrop is rad.

I was hoping the dog would have little skis.

I have been in the Methow Valley in the Summer, but never in the Winter. Looks like a great place to cross country ski, which I do alot of.

Hun, I think that’s car-to-car skiing with a hut in between 😁 Seriously, what fun, always wanted to try it!

Another fun video. Lots of "sweaty" and poop and pits. LOL..........Thanks for the fun.

Every REI needs a Miranda

Wonderful!!! That was so beeeeeautiful! How does it get any better, than "being there" with the pure Joy of Miranda?!? Well, it just doesn't! It brought back great memories of X-C skiing, back in the early '70's: Three-pin bindings, wooden skis, pine tar, blue wax and green wax--and the dreaded days of klister! Aaaarrrggghh! Hahahahaha!!! Good times! Thanks, Miranda! :)

That’s awesome!

The dramatic music!!

OK that looked fun. You're officially Sweat Bear!

This episode probably has the best cinematography of the show. Beautiful shots.

❤❤ favorite episode 😂😂especially when Nala is pooping 💩 🐕 priceless

How does one get onto your production crew? I can do all the outdoors stuff and run all the camera stuff including drones.

Damn that looks like fun

"A ball that wearing a skirt" XD you kill me

... Miranda , you did great ...Looked like a natural ...... Looked like a good time .. Q: How come you were the only one wearing your backpack ?? While the others put their gear on the snow mobile sled. ?? ... .... Colorado has a hut to hut system that was designed for military winter training ,, back in the day,, Have heard it's still operating and in the summer months , used by hikers and mountain bikers .... might have to check it out ...

This is a great activity for stumbles lol

I hope we get to see a ski adventure in 2023!!!!

Her dog gave her a reason to tall about poop this episode

I see they haul supplies to and from the hut for you. What were you packing out yourself vs what did they haul out for you?

Great video

WOW. As someone who downhill skied a TON as a kid, I never 'got' cross-country skiing. Why do people do it? How is that 'fun'? After a while, I got out of practice, chipped a tooth, and got a bit scared off from downhill stuff. Now I'm wondering why I've never done cross-country skiing before, because it looks amazing. Like hiking with a twist lol

New video get hype

Hmmm, Grizzly Hut. That could be anywhere. Someone hauls your gear. Definitely that is done in the Methow valley of Northern Washington.

Cross country skiing from Pizza Hut to Pizza Hut...🤪🤪🍕🍕🍕🍕

Go nala!!

"Haven't we gone up up enough?" Me on every hike lmao

Bob Ross pittoresk I’m just ❤️ IT!

Nala always by her side

Those are some really extra wide cc skis!

best description of badminton i have ever heard Badminton: where one runs around hitting a ball with a skirt

"Nala, you gotta stop walking around..." (Next shot: Nala looking like she's been properly reprimanded in the cutest Nala sort of way)

I am curious, if you had a ski mobile bringing up and down the supplies, why not have them carry your backpack so it will be easier skiing?

Classic Methow W

One nights food and a sleeping bag the rest is provided, what is all that extra stuff you had brought in the snowmobile?

"Like a Cate Bear" was probably the best line. Thanks for the fun and educational video.

In my limited experience this is a realistic portrayal of the joys and frustrations that you may encounter learning to x-country ski. Take notes and enjoy.

Great video Miranda, cross country skiing can be real fun and not near as busy as ski slopes. But, it can be a lot of work, using muscles you usually don't use. I did take a cross country class and steep up hill's climbs are really challenging. I am beginning to wonder about this "poop" thing though, you seem to be obsessed, but I am trusting it's not a fetish. Anyway looks like you had fun except form the blister.

how cold was the trip and how warm was the hut ?

Randa panda! 👋

Sometimes the RU-vid algorithms hit just right

What sunglasses do you have on?

Hey miranda so how about an ebike video ? Thanks!

What was all that stuff on the snowmobile? Just throw your backpack up on there maybe?

More like boss country!

What sweater are you wearing?

17:45 “yeah… i think i’d rather smell other people’s combined poop stench than one ripe poop.” 💩🥴 never change, miranda.

Would love to cross country ski but Scotland does not produce enough snow😂

Where was this filmed?

Snow blindness is a real risk, even on cloudy days, Protect your retinas when skiing !

No gaiters? 🐊 Edit: also jealy that you don’t get underboob sweat. Lol No Seriously, underboob sweat is harder to manage than all other TMI topics

12:35 + you kind of remind me of Princess Leigha on the planet with the tiny wookies, ewoks?

Looks like Vermont

Snow Shoeing is HARD work, XC skiing is easier but takes, imo, a fair amount to coordination. XC-skiing is also exercise as opposed to downhill skiing.

Skate skiing next? It’s soooo fun! (I’m an instructor btw)

Ski specks ?

Where is this? It's gorgeous

HAPPY WOMEN'S DAY MAY GOD BLESS YOU DEAR😍😙👍
