Cross Country Skiing

Does anyone here cross country ski? I have been wanting to try, but I weight more than 250lbs and am not sure how that will impact the ski. At that weight, I need at least 192cm touring ski but I'm still way over the max weight. Does anyone have experience with this?

    I have been cross county skiing my entire life at various different weights. I think my max was 260 lbs. everything should be fine except for the bindings. If you fall, the skis will come off much easier, if you weight more than what the bindings are set for. I ski classic technique, so skate style skiing may be a bit different. I actually didn't realize skiing had a max weight:)
