Cross Country skiing is a
form of skiing where skiers depend on their own locomotion to move and ski
across snow covered terrain, rather than using ski lifts or other forms of
assistance. It is practiced both as a sport and recreational activity. Variants
of cross-country skiing are trained to a range of terrain which spans
unimproved, sometimes mountainous terrain to groomed courses that are
specifically designed for the sport.
The cross country skiing
sport includes variety of formats for cross-country skiing races over courses
of varying lengths according to the rules sanctioned by the International Ski
Federation and by various national organisation, such as U.S. Ski and Snowboard
Association (USSA) and Cross Country Ski Canada.

from a need to travel over snow covered terrain and by the end of the 19th
century, it developed as a sport.
For many centuries in the snow-covered
North, skis were required to chase game and gather firewood during winter time.
Having a long distance between the small, isolated communities, skiing also
became important as means of keeping in social contact.
Skiing emerged in various different forms depending on
region to region. One type had a horizontal toe-piece
binding whereas the modern ski bindings are based on the Fennoscandian model of
the 19th century. The East Siberian type was a thin board with a vertical
four-hole binding and sometimes covered with fur. The Lapps used a horizontal
stem-hole binding.
Present-day cross country skis were developed from the type used by
the Lapps.Ski tours takes place both off-piste and also outside of ski resorts.
These tours sometimes extend over multiple days. Typically, skis, bindings, and
boots allow for free movement of the heel to enable a walking pace, as with
Nordic disciplines and unlike Alpine skiing. Apart from being an adventurous
sport, it also has lot of health benefits. It is regarded as the ultimate
cardio exercise, the number one calorie burner, provides a sensational
endorphin high, and much more. Cross country
skiing can be enjoyed by people of all ages and fitness levels,and at the same
time can be purely recreational or highly aggressive and competitive.
