You’ll want lightweight synthetic clothing for a base layer. After that it depends on what kind of skiing you are doing. Classic XC touring at lower speeds, then I’d say get some mid-weight non-insulated ski pants and a windproof fleece or softshell jacket. If you are racing or skiing very aggressively then you might want something from Swix or Sporthill.
I also suggest taking some extra clothing in a pack if you are doing anything away from civilization. It’s always good to add a layer when you stop for a break.
If you’re looking for a good destination, consider Pinedale, Wyoming. It has a cross country course on the same road as White Pine Ski Area.
There is a shop at White Pine and another one in Pinedale that could outfit you.
