Boots? Check. Parka? Check. Shovel? Check. Four wheel drive? Check. Cross country skis? Nope.

Unless you have X-C skied or skied B4, snowshoes are a more practical choice.
It’s hard to carry wood in the house w/ X-C skis on ...the new snowshoes with light alum frames are super. Both can give you a good workout, if that is a goal.
