Nordic skiing or skating?

Nordic skiing is a generic term that encompasses cross-country skiing, ski jumping, Nordic combined, back-country XC skiing, as well as biathlon. Our goal here is to help you understand better two cross-country skiing techniques: skating and classic. Each requires specific equipment, and Glisshop offers both skating and classic skis for all types of skiers, with suitable sizes!

Which is the best to start cross-country skiing? Classic or skating?

Before asking which is the best technique to start, you need to understand what sets the two apart. Classic is the traditional form of cross-country skiing, as it existed originally as a means of transport. Skating involves a movement similar to ice skating, as the name suggests.

The classic technique is easier for beginners, however, skating can be picked up quite quickly with the help of an instructor. Skating requires more balance and can be done only on groomed trails, while classic allows you to ski in the backcountry.

Choosing the right men’s and women’s classic cross-country skiing packs

Classic is the most traditional form of cross-country skiing. It was originally used as a means of transport and for hunting. This discipline has developed progressively to become the most widespread technique worldwide. Thanks to how similar to walking it is, it guarantees beautiful sessions with physical and technical ease.

No matter your preferences or goals, Glisshop’s experts have selected products to fulfil the expectations of skiers of various abilities. The men’s classic sets and women’s classic sets categories include skis and bindings assembled by our techs. They are ready to use upon reception.

What equipment and accessories do you need for skating?

Skating is the most popular discipline in our regions. It is more challenging physically than classic, but it is quicker to learn. The feeling of speed is omnipresent, and the glide phase is very pleasant.

We offer a wide range of ready to use men’s and women’s skating sets for athletes. You'll find gear for every skill level, whether you’re looking for recreational equipment or performance-oriented products.

For maximum user-friendliness, the cross-country skiing packs offered by Glisshop are built to make your choice easier with preselected bindings according to the skis.

How to choose cross-country ski bindings?

Cross-country ski bindings are specific to the discipline. Skating bindings are different from classic ones. Then, you’ll find the Prolink, NNN®, Turnamic® and SNS standards. If you want to know more, check our guide on cross-country ski binding standards.
