Groomed Cross Country skis Groomed cross-country skis are best used on the groomed tracks and have scales on the bases that provide you with traction as you glide down the track. Skating Cross Country Skis Skating cross-country skis are the speed demons of the cross-country world.
Make sure you have these items checked off your list before you head out on the trail: Boots There are two important factors that you need to consider when selecting a cross-country ski boot.
We classify boots for cross-country skiing like this: Backcountry: Backcountry cross-country skiing boots have more support, and a stronger wider connection to the NNN BC bindings that will give you more control as you make your own trails through backcountry terrain. Groomed: Cross-country ski boots for groomed terrain are lightweight, typically with Neoprene liners that allow you to glide on the groomed tracks quickly and efficiently.
Bindings The bindings you choose can have a big impact on the performance of your ski. Cross-Country Ski Features Specific features and constructions of cross-country skis will have a significant effect on their performance. Flex Not all cross-country skis are offered in differing flexes but for those that do you can make a decision based on your weight.
Waxless Cross-Country Skis Waxable cross-country skis can be used in varying snow conditions and, when waxed properly, can be fast with great control.
Metal Edges Nordic skis with metal edges are designed for use on steep terrain and in icy conditions. Shape Most people prefer an original sidecut construction, but some skis are made with a reverse sidecut. Cross-Country Ski Length and Sizing Choosing the proper length for a cross-country ski depends on what type of skiing you will be doing.

Includes Binding Yes. Binding Option Premounted. Shape Side Cut. Metal Edges Yes. In the past few years, some ski makers have started embedding mohair skins, like those used for alpine touring, into the bottom of classic skis, instead of grinding in a fish-scale pattern.
No matter which type of ski you pick, you should still apply glide wax to the tips and tails. More on that below. For high-performance classic skiing, mid- to upper-range waxable skis and a good wax application will have you kicking and gliding the fastest.
Otherwise, the underfoot grip zone and the kick-and-glide forward motion are the same as they are on classic skis. We direct them to waxless skis that can be used in tracks and out. A dedicated backcountry classic boot will keep your feet warm while offering higher levels of support for rugged terrain.
This type of boot works only with a dedicated backcountry, or BC, binding. Skate boots have a stiff sole and a high, supportive ankle cuff, and they should fit snugly, like a cycling shoe, but not as tight as an alpine boot. A classic boot is cut lower, and its sole and ankle are able to flex as you kick and glide. The same rule applies for both: A nicer boot, often made with carbon , will be lighter and stiffer, yielding better power transfer.
It will also pack out less over time. To a certain degree, the boot you buy will determine what kind of binding you need. Or vice versa: if you particularly like a certain binding platform, that will limit your boot options.
