刚发现X Country Ski装备比Snowshoes贵不了多少

虎行北美

今天在论坛刚放上去的Google广告上发现一家商店，on sale的Cross Country Ski套装，包括板、固定器、靴子及杆，才$259.95。我打算买一套，还有人打算买吗？大家一起学X Country Skiing，这样以后下山就省事多，哧溜一下，很快就到山脚了，不用一步一步的下山。 :lol:

装备比起snowshoes也不贵啊。

x country 的装备能用在 downhill 上吗

Yes it can.  But it depends on what you want to acheive.
It's quite a complicated issue.

For the ski itself.  There are many types:
x-country classic
x-country skating (this one strictly used on groomed track)
down-hill skis
** The binding, the boots, the poles and the ski are differ.

x-country classic can be subdivided into:
light touring
back country touring (telemark)
** The binding, the boots, and the ski are differ.
** The major difference between these two types of ski is that the light touring is not good in turning.  It is good in skiing in a straight line.

Down-hill skis can be subdivided into:
down-hill (for resort skiing type, like the one we are learning)
down-hill back country
** The binding and the boots are differ.  The ski is quite the same.


I am going to try my X-country ski on downhill this Sunday.
(My ski is somewhat between light touring and back country touring-telemark)
