NORDIC FACTSWHAT IS CLASSIC CROSS-COUNTRY SKIING? The traditional style of cross-country skiing is referred to as classic cross-country. When using classic technique, the arms and legs and skis move diagonally in the direction of travel. A skier moves forward by kicking and gliding. Classic skis have a kick zone and a glide zone on the base. The kick zone is the middle section of the ski and is either an area of fish scale type patterning or an area where kick wax is applied. The glide zones are the tip and tail portions of the ski and are completely smooth.
WHAT IS SKATE SKIING? Skate skiing is a relatively newer method of cross-country skiing. When using skating technique, the skier pushes laterally, skating from ski to ski to move forward. This movement is similar to that used in in-line roller-skating or speed (ice) skating. The skate-ski base is completely smooth, allowing for maximum glide.
THE HOW-TO’SSNOWSHOEING • Anyone can snowshoe. It’s easy to learn and lots of fun. If you can walk, you can snowshoe! No special skills needed, no awkward learning curve, and no labor-intensive equipment—just step in and go.
• When dressing for snowshoeing, remember the importance of layering for the elements to ensure that you are properly insulated at all times.
• Snowshoeing will get you in better shape. It provides great aerobic benefits, is less impactful than running and adds strength training all in one workout.
• Specific trails are designated for snowshoeing. Snowshoeing is not permitted on the groomed cross-country trails.
• Rental snowshoes are available at the Nordic Center.
TRAIL ETIQUETTE Skiers of all ability levels, and classic cross-country and skate skiers alike, enjoy the Eldora Nordic Center. To ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please follow these guidelines:
• Skate skiers, please skate clear of the classic-skiing tracks.
• Use caution and check your speed on downhill sections.
• Use a courteous warning when passing slower skiers.
• Do not stop where you obstruct a trail or are not visible to others.
• If you are skiing side-by-side, be prepared to move for skiers passing you or coming from the other direction.
• If your party needs help, contact the Eldora Nordic Center staff.
• Please obey trail direction markers.
• To maintain quality and safety on our trails, we do not permit dogs, hikers, or snowmobiles.
• Snowshoeing is not permitted on the groomed cross-country trails.
