Alternate training

Training for a marathon requires running. This I know. But, living in Southwest Colorado has proven to make training a challenge. I don't mind treadmills too terribly much, but not everyday for the amounts of time I plan to run. Nordic or cross country skiing is really popular in this area. Can anyone give me some guidance about this as a possible training alternative? I have read that this is the best cardio workout that you can get, so it can't hurt. I plan to run outside as often as I can, but with snow, ice and cold temps - I have to admit that I am a bit more of a fair weather runner.
