Cross-Country Skiing Along a Winter Stream
A boy equipped with long cross-country skis, lightweight poles, and a gear backpack takes a break on a flat snow-covered path. The trail runs right beside a creek frozen over with winter ice.
How Cross-Country Skis Work on Flat Trails
Unlike downhill skiing, cross-country skiing relies on human power to glide across flat or rolling terrain. Special wax or fish-scale textures on the bottom of the skis grip the snow when pushing off, then allow the ski to slide forward smoothly. Lightweight poles help skiers propel themselves forward and maintain rhythm over long winter distances.
