In fact, since cross country skiing involves a simultaneous use of the arms and legs, many exercise physiologists consider it to be the best form of aerobic exercise.

The main difference between cross country Skiing and alpine or downhill skiing is that cross country skiing, the skier is attached to the ski only with the toe of the boot..

In alpine skiing, the entire boot is attached to the ski. The free heel allows cross country skiers to climb uphill which is not very comfortable in alpine skis.
