Girls and Cross?

Hello dear ones, I am Jule, 21 years old and still a bit clumsy in the subject. I am very interested in cross-country skiing and would like to start with it myself. Of course I know it is a very expensive fun and I am aware of the injury crisis. My question now, is that at 21 too late? Is it realistic with my weight of approx. 55kg and size of 1.67cm that I could hold the machine? How are your experiences so. Thank you and love greetings.
