Cross country ski packages on Ekosport

Whether you're doing Nordic skiing or cross-country skiing as a competitor or as a recreational activity, it's paramount that you have the right gear. Whether you're cross-country skating are not practiced with the same equipment. In fact, classic cross-country skiing is practiced on tracks previously groomed with two parallel rails. If you are a beginner or already an average skier, choose a maneuverable ski that will allow you to glide well and guarantee you a very good grip.

On the other hand, as an expert, opt for a dynamic ski instead, one that still provides good grip. As for the size of the cross-country ski, it is always based on your body size. However, know this: while a taller ski will give you better glide, a shorter ski will allow a better manoeuvrability.

Cross-country ski binding standards compatibility

In the field of nordic skiing and cross-country skiing, there are three binding standards depending on the brand. It is worth mentioning that these different standards are not necessarily compatible. In other words, they do not allow you to fit any boots and any skis together./p>

• The NNN standard: The NNN norm is the most common among classic cross-country and skating skiers. As a point of clarification, this standard equips various ski brands such as Fischer. The standard known as PROLINK is identical to the NNN.
• The SNS standard: This norm that is developed by Salomon equips skis from the Atomic and Salomon brands. It comes with a Pilot system that is only compatible with SNS Pilot boots and bindings.
