How to get ready for cross-country skiing before and during?
Q. I have cross-country skiing coming up, and it may very well be the most demanding sport out there. I want to know supplements or anything that I could use to keep my endurance and energy up, or anything that will help in an physically demanding sport.

What were the records for women's cross country skiing?
Q. I need to know the records for women's cross country skiing, if possible before the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but before is alright also.

A. World record times are not kept for skiing events, either alpine or cross country. Even the cross country events are contested over standard distances, the unique terrain of each individual course makes it meaningless to compare times.

A. yes but you need to mount tele (telemark) bindings on the downhill skis, and get some tele boots . the one real issue is the weight of the kit, which is heavy er than pure cross country stuff so you will get more tired. But it works, it is handy for those bad weather days when the value of a lift ticket is questionable. you can also parallel turn with tele bindings and the tele boots are a lot more comfortable. this is not a setup i would recommend for Nordic or Alpine racing but the overall versatility that one gets with the setup is great

A. There have been sanctioned, organized cross-country skiing races for over 100 years. XC skiing was one of the original Winter Olympic events in 1924 and FIS World Cup Nordic skiing has taken place since 1925. As mechanized forms of travel became more efficient, XC skiing was replaced by things such as snowmobiles and snowcats. Likewise, so were dog sleds. However, skis and snowshoes are still viable means of transportation in many places and are still widely used by the military in many countries.

Now, I know that the chances of a good powder base of snow is unlikely. More the reason to go there.

Q. i went cross country skiing and i did the splits, is it harder to do the splits on cross country or regular?
Asked by pocket - Thu Jul 24 16:41:52 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. To learn the basic skills, cross country is supposed to be easier, but I think that Alpine is much easier to learn and master to a competent level for enjoyment. Also cross country is a lot of work and more strenuous than Alpine. Both sports have changed over the past 15 years, the equipment is better and more reliable. Teaching each discipline has also improved. The splits are quite common when learning to control a 6 foot stick on the end of your foot. Take a series of lessons and practice, practice, practice.

Cross Country skiing or snowboarding in Stowe?
Q. I'm heading to Stowe, VT and only have time/money for one: cross country skiing or snowshoeing. Any recommendations from folks who have been there? (I'm not wondering which is better in general, but particularly in the Stowe area) Thanks.
Asked by mocha - Mon Jan 26 18:45:55 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you want to snowshoe, there are tons of excellent trails in the Stowe area. You can hike up Mt.Mansfield or any of the adjacent mountains in the area. Driving up Route 108 to where they stop plowing will give you a hiking route up into Smuggler's Notch and you can also hike up to Sterling Pond. There is also Nebraska Notch, good for skiing or snowshoeing. XC Skiing at Von Trapp is always great. Snowboarding at Stowe is good too. Both will cost you money. If you are cash strapped snowshoeing would be the way to go.

What is necessary to do cross country skiing?
Q. I was just looking at equipment (on the Internet ) , and I was wondering if skis come with ski poles and if a hydration pack is necessary. I know that the boots are. Please answer all questions. Best answer=10 points!
Asked by Katt - Thu Aug 16 15:15:16 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. What you need are XC boots, skis, and poles. Make sure you don't get alpine equipment because they're completely different. You will also need clothing to keep you warm. I wear gloves, a winter jacket, winter hat, and snow pants. I like to bring hand warmers, the kind that you open and shake to activate. They work very well. Willie D's list was a little excessive (Not to bash him)... You don't REALLY need that much stuff. Depending on how cautions you want to be, you might want to bring some first aid materials but honestly, I basically ski in the stuff I normally wear plus a jacket, gloves, hat, etc. If you get into serious skiing, you might buy some wax. There's special wax for gripping the snow and for gliding. The wax isn't really… [cont.]

Why do I keep falling when I am cross country skiing?
Q. Could this be the case? If I feel myself starting to slip, I naturally pull back so I end up on my butt? Well the skis are rather new so I think it must be me that is the problem. I am afraid of hurting my ankle because it keeps turning. Are ankle injuries common in the sport?
Asked by revo - Sun Jan 18 20:04:05 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. There are many possible reasons. In my experience, the most common is bad posture, and in particular, not enough flex in the knees. Next time you go down a hill, bend your knees, and lean your upper body forward a bit. This is called the "humble posture". Try to maintain that posture, even when snowplowing. Stay relaxed throughout. Imagine that your knees are made of rubber. If you feel you are about to fall, resist the impulse to straighten up or lean backwards. On the contrary, accentuate the humble posture even more. This will lower your center of gravity and possibly avoid the fall. And as it has been pointed out, just keep at it and things will fall into place eventually.

A. If they are longer than rollerblades and have cross country bindings and boots, they are roller skis. If they are long rollerblades, than I suppose search there. You'll use the same boots and poles as in cross country skiing, but you'll have a hard rubber tip instead of carbide tip! I have used these to train for skiing, but honestly prefere to cross train without these in the off season. The actual technique and flow is just different enough that I would rather work the same muscles by cross training, including pole or hill bounding (running up hills with the poles).
