3 things to consider when shopping for cross country skis

Classic style skis are the most popular and traditional type. You follow the trails and use techniques such as diagonal skiing and staking, and even scissoring on tough uphill slopes.

Skate skiing resembles to ice skating. In this style, the skier moves forward by pushing the skis away from the body and the ski poles backwards. Skate skis are usually shorter than classic cross-country skis, and the top is slightly down to reduce weight. The edges of the skis are sharper to make it easier to ski.

The middle part of the ski has a raised section that's not in contact with the ground when you're standing evenly on your skis. This part is called the span, and it's crucial when choosing skis. The span should be matched to your technique, weight, and skill level. If you have good technique, you should choose a harder span. You should also get the right balance, as a ski with a span that's too soft will slow you down. And one with a span that's too hard will require too much pressure to get a grip - which can be exhausting in the long run.

The length of your skis depends primarily on two factors: your height and weight. What also matters is the type of skiing. For classic cross-country skiing, adults should choose skis 20-30cm longer than their height, while junior skiers should go for skis 5-20cm longer.

If you're looking for skate skis, choose a pair that's only 5-10cm longer than your height, or 0-10cm longer if you're a younger skier. Keep in mind that your weight can also affect your ski length. Lighter skiers should go for shorter skis and heavier skiers for longer skis.
