Not sure which cross-country skiing style to choose?
If you're new to cross-country skiing, we suggest trying the classic skiing technique first as it is a more natural movement that’s easier to pick up than skate ski. If your goal is to go for a casual ski through the woods, the classic technique is a great place to start. Skate skiing requires more advanced technique and is a great activity to try if you’re looking to challenge yourself on snow.
No gear? No problem.
Crosscut offers rental packages for skate and classic skiers.
