Cross-country skis
Cross-country skis – Perfect technique for your needs
In the category cross-country skis on ski-shop.ch you will find the ideal equipment for the two main techniques in cross-country skiing: classic style and skating. Each technique places different demands on cross-country skis, bindings, boots and poles. Choosing the right equipment depends not only on the technique, but also on your experience and individual skiing style.
Differences between classic cross-country skis and skating skis
The design and construction of classic cross-country skis differ significantly from skating skis. While classic skis are longer and specially designed for the diagonal technique and groomed trails, skating skis offer medium hardness and a universal grind that is suitable for all snow conditions. The climbing zone on classic skis can either be waxed or have a Nowax coating to ensure optimum grip on the trail.
Which cross-country skis are right for your weight and technique level?
The hardness of the cross-country ski plays a key role. Harder skis require more power and pressure to guarantee stability and control when pushing off. For heavier people or active skiers who have mastered a powerful kick technique, hard skis are the optimal choice. Casual skaters, on the other hand, prefer a universal model that requires less effort and is versatile.
The right length of cross-country skis – Important factors
The length of your cross-country skis has a direct impact on your performance. For beginners in classic style, the ski length should not be more than 10 to 15 centimeters longer than your height, while experienced skiers can add up to 20 centimeters. For skating, on the other hand, shorter skis are preferred, adding around eight centimeters to your height. Advanced skiers can even use up to 10 centimeters longer skating skis to maximize their speed and efficiency.
