Types of Cross-Country Skiing
There are two main types of cross-country skiing:
Classic Cross-Country Skiing
Classic Cross-Country Skiing is the type of cross-country that most people envision. To classic cross-country ski, the skis will be parallel to one another and the skier will push forward on one ski and glide forward with the other ski.
Skate Skiing
Skate skiing is a form of cross-country skiing that has more of an ice skating motion. A skate skier will have their skis in a V-shape and will push off from one ski to another while using their poles to propel forward.
