Classic Cross-Country Skis

What type of cross-country skiing will you do?

• Classic skiing: Uses a back and forward motion similar to walking
• Skate skiing: Resembles the movements of a speed skater

Do you want to tour or race?

• Classic cross-country touring skis: Best for groomed tracks
• Race and performance classic or skate skis: Ideal for groomed tracks but built for faster skiing than classic touring skis
• Metal-edge touring skis: Designed for skiing out-of-track or on steeper terrain
