Have you ever dreamt about discovering a new discipline, a new landscape, or going far far away into nature? With your heels being free, you can choose between two techniques: classic or skate depending on what you are looking for and what suits you best.
- Classical style: this technique is very traditional and consists in moving forward with parallel skis. You alternate between both feet and just glide. The skis are long and narrow and do not have metallic edges. The central section of the ski is waxed or if not, equipped with scales as to not fall in the snow.
- Skating style: this technique a.k.a "ice skater step" is practised with smooth unwaxed skis as to glide very easily. It looks like you are ice skating, therefore, it is a more demanding discipline and requires to be in good shape.
