 Cross Country
Skimming across pristine snowfields with breathtaking scenery passing by on all sides, cross country skiers know how good life can be. In this challenging endurance sport, athletes’ rhythmic motions work out every major muscle group, and burn more calories per hour than nearly any other sport. Today, cross-country ski competition is experiencing a revolution that includes new variations such as mass start, sprint, relay and pursuit.
