"Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country" – Steven Wright
Reasons to Cross Country Ski
Don't hibernate! Winters are 4 + months long. Get out & enjoy it.
You can head right out your backdoor or to one of our local parks with miles of groomed trails: some of which are lighted for night skiing.
Affordable exercise & entertainment.
A complete "total body" exercise that burns more calories per hour than any other sport.
Classic 'non-wax' Touring Gear
For skiers heading out their back door or across the lake to break their own trail a slightly wider "Touring" ski is recommended. We stock traditional "Positrack" or step base skis.
Classic 'skins' Light Touring Gear
For skiers heading to one of our local parks or touring centers with groomed trails a narrower "Light Touring" ski is recommended. We feature the incredibly efficient "skins" technology which provides superior grip and glide in a broad range of temperatures and snow conditions.
Back Country Gear
For our customers with cabins "up north" or those involved in winter camping we also have metal edge Back-Country skis, boots, bindings and poles.
