Question

anyone know about cross country skiing?

Answer 1

I experience each, however I get a larger rush from skate-snowboarding (that is a sort of move nation) It's speedy, and also you undoubtedly get a excellent aerobic exercise. So a laugh. If I'm simply short of a serene hike, I'll use the snowshoes- although I as a rule am well with going two or three instances a yr, and I'm on my XC skis two or three instances per week! As for pricing, snowshoeing is far less expensive. Cheaper gear, and even though you'll be able to ski within the backcountry, nordic facilities are rather satisfactory- however they price cash to make use of them.

Answer 2

I would say go into a shop that sells used ski equipment and talk to the expert there, they will know everything about skis and will help you find the right pair.

Answer 3

Weight is more important than height and it will greatly depend on what style of XC ski you want. Racing skis are much shorter than touring skis and backcountry skis are a lot wider than both of those. For your weight, a ballpark size for a touring ski would be about 160cm, but check the manufacturers' size charts for the specific ski you are looking at.

Answer 4

XC skis are all about skier weight and ability. Lower weight = shorter ski. More ability = longer ski. Boots all depend on what fits and what your skiing purpose is: back country, in-track, back country-expedition, skating, or traditional. Skis are available in waxable and waxless. First decide on boots for your purpose, then decide on bindings that fit your boots, then work on an appropriate ski for your purpose and weight. Each ski manufacturer has a different length suggestion based on weight and ability since each model ski has a different core material- and stiffness. Foam core is more flexible, better for deeper snow, off track, or less experienced skiers. Wood core is stiffer meaning more on-track, more aggressive or experienced skiers.



So, the answer to your question is, "It depends". Talk to your outdoor store professional.
