For those who are unfamiliar with cross-country skiing, this unique activity involves the skier using their own movement to travel across a snowy landscape. Contrary to classic mountain skiing, there are no ski lifts or other forms of assistance in cross-country skiing. All you need is a pair of skis and ski poles.
It’s much like hiking, except you’ve two long boards strapped to your feet! Unlike traditional skiing, you also don’t necessarily need a specifically designated ski area. This gives you the freedom to explore the outdoors with more flexibility.
There are different styles of cross-country skiing – classic and skate skiing. Both styles require the skier to push against the snow and glide, but the skis, boots, and poles differ. In classic cross-country skiing, the skier pushes down and back against the snow with their feet. The skis are specifically designed to help with this movement.
Skate skis, unlike the classic ones, are smooth, without sticky area under the foot. This type of skiing imitates skating movements. The skier shifts weight from one leg to the other as they glide forward and push themselves with the poles.
Cross-country skiing is a popular sport and recreational activity. It’s also a fun and active method of transportation. It’s just like roller skating, but on snow! Most importantly, this kind of skiing can be adapted to a wide range of different terrains, making mountainous Canada the ideal destination for cross skiing tours. Not only you’ll have fun sliding up and down the mountains, but also discover the beauty of the diverse Canadian landscapes!

In order to fully enjoy skiing, appropriate clothing is essential. Choose high-quality, natural material clothes that allow your skin to breathe. They will keep you warm in extreme weather conditions and keep you cool during a vigorous workout.
Wearing a few layers is always better than struggling with one heavy piece of clothing. Depending on the situation, you can remove or add a layer and thus control your body temperature. Most experienced skiers recommend three top layers and two bottom ones.
The top layer should be waterproof and soft. Preferably, made out of tightly woven fabric that will keep you dry in even the most unpredictable weather.
Smart accessories like hats, beanies, headbands, and gloves will protect you from the wind and the chill. They don't take up much space when you don’t need them. Wear synthetic or woolen socks and consider putting on ankle gaiters that will stop snow from getting into your boots.
Cozy and weather-appropriate clothing makes a big difference when it comes to winter sports. If you’re comfortable in your skin, you’ve all the more chances to enjoy your skiing trip!
