Nordic skiing

Nordic skiing, also known as cross-country skiing, is a winter sport where participants travel across snow-covered terrain using skis that are lighter and narrower than alpine skis. It involves a gliding motion supported by a walking or running-like stride, often enhanced by the use of ski poles for balance and propulsion. Nordic skiing emphasizes endurance, technique, and efficiency, and it can be done on groomed trails or open snow. It’s both a recreational activity and a competitive sport, famous for its lower-impact, full-body workout, and connection with natural winter landscapes.
