As determined by cross-country skiing can be divided into the following categories
Tourist Country Skiing
Children's skis
Backcountry skis
Nordic croussing (fitness)
Sport cross-country skiing - skating, for classic
Racing Skis - Skating for classics
Tourist Country Skiing
Perhaps the best-selling categories of skis, are skis tourist. Ski width ranges between 48-55 mm. This width allows for even ride in a machine-milled track, but also gives the opportunity to travel outside the groomed even in deep snow. Tourist skis allow predominantly classic style cross-country skiing. We recommend buying these skis in lengths of 15-25 cm longer than the height of the skier. If you're thin, you can choose from more cross-country skiing in the shorter version, if you weigh more, or want to ride faster, longer skis so choose. To facilitate reflection without slipping, these skis do softer. So the less experienced skier does not have problems with proper lubrication with reflection. Soft skis are very nice, so if you are able-bodied athlete, so they do not worry. Compared to hard cross-country skiing is a slightly slower speed, but tourism is not so. Tourist skis are also manufactured with non-slip in the lubrication chamber. This arrangement has its advantages but also disadvantages. The advantage is that you do not delete the riser waxes, but beware, do not forget the skis and paraffin. (More about deleting learn in lectures - "Who clears, he goes", organized by sport). The main disadvantage with non-slip running surface (scaled) rules is that they can not be deleted. They are the snows which does not work with it and then nothing I can do. A second, less crucial for tourism disadvantage is that they are thus adapted skis a little slower. I recommend therefore prefer skis with a lubricant that you learn to delete. It's really not so difficult as it might seem.
Children's skis
For children who are beginning skier, you can buy skis shorter than their height. We choose the type cross-country skiing coach, that because they are wider, more stable and thus preferable to the beginner. Approximately 5-6 years of age may also begin to teach a child slip. Then, you need to get longer skis for children and about 15 cm higher than measured by the child. For children, it is preferable to the classical method of running, which is not as physically demanding as skating. For a complete start is available for purchase and skis with scales, but if for yourself skis Maze is reasonable for a child to buy skis lubricant because it's better to go and you can learn and lubrication. If you travel with children more and sportier, it is possible for about two years running to move progressively closer to the sport skis. From 10 years of age has on children's skis follow the same rules as for adult skis.
Backcountry skis
Cross-country skiing which are hidden under a backcountry is gradually returning to popularity. Skis are designed for off-road driving. Something like a car off-road or mountain bike. Generally, the widths of skis as a tourist and wider widths up to 70mm (almost like a ski slope). They have one or both edges of the steel. Thanks to the edges, it is better to ride on a hard icy surface, which is very nice especially in mountain descents. Also, because the edge of the steel is much less wearing skis and thus lasts much longer. So if you ride off into the mountains outside of prepared ski tracks backcountry skis are the right choice. There are models of 55 mm in width, which fits into the machine tracks. It is the ideal versatile ski terrain in part to the track. The length of these skis is suitable for 10-15 cm higher than the height of the skier.
Nordic croussing (fitness)
Skis are designed for fitness enthusiasts of active style and especially for those who failed summer-style "Nordic walking". Cross-country skiing are buying significantly less than traditional skis. We recommend that height. Most come with slide to the user with the least work to prepare. It is a cross-country skis are designed to ensure that you get from somewhere to somewhere, but it serves to make sure no matter what your style or experience while skiing improved physical fitness.
Sport skis for classic style cross-country skiing
These skis are particularly suited to the adjusted stop, but because of their relatively strong and sturdy construction withstand off-road driving. However, since the narrower (45-47mm) than the cross-country skiing coach, it may be that they will be more in the softer snow to break them down. These skis are also a bit harder than cross-country skiing and hiking are therefore not suitable for complete beginners who have mastered a reflection of good skis. If you have bought new skis and they let you slide as deleting erasing, it's most likely that they are on your weight, or cross-country skiing technique is too hard. Then you have no choice but to buy new skis, softer, or learn to better reflect?. The length of the sport of cross country skiing classic style cross-country skiing is chosen for 20-30 cm longer than the athlete's stature. If you're lean, you need to choose a softer skis, ie, less if you weigh more, choose a longer skis.
Sport cross-country skiing - skating
Cross-country skis for skating (skating) is made significantly harder than conventional skis. Therefore, they should not be a classic ride and if after all you do is very difficult for them certainly bounce. The cross-country skating is harder, the faster, but not overdo it. Very hard to cross-country skiing does not seal the surface and is therefore not very stable and easy to swim in the snow. Therefore, if you choose to start skating skis hard, but not the hardest. Length skating skis are selected 5-15 cm longer than the height of the skier.
Sport Skis - combi
These skis are great, but nothing too :-). Let me explain ... It's awesome to have one pair of skis on both classic and skating, but it's something for something. Combi skis are stiffer than conventional skis. That means if you do not have proper weight, or brilliant style of reflection, then you have to worry about, because you will slide. On the other hand, will go fast. The skating is a disadvantage that the riser cross-country skiing greased wax lubricant in the chamber, and is not as good as the skating skis, which are all paraffined. Furthermore, the combi skis are a little more than pure skating skis, so the closer the length of the lines can be a bit of trouble. Length Combi skis are chosen from 10 to 20 cm longer than the height of the skier. These skis I can recommend if you have only one purpose skis for everything. If you do not mind, but carry with them two skis, then it is definitely a better choice for a classic cross-country skiing classical and skating cross country ski skating. For skiers, the higher weight categories, higher hardness can be used as an advantage. It is then necessary to buy the classics too long skis, while you "can carry."
Racing skis for classic
Racing skis it's just great. Beautiful it to the show. With prices around ten to fifteen thousand crowns. Amazingly fast skis, these skis just after the snow flies only. But be careful, as the category suggests, are simply racing skis for racers. If you are not a reflection of the mastery of the slide, you have to worry about. They are quite hard, yet because they are very light, not so durable. Use therefore have only covered the tracks. But if you learn good cross-country skiing, then you really enjoy the racing. These skis are narrower around 43-46 mm. This makes for a faster hard surface modified, for softer terrain is better to choose skis a little wider. Some manufacturers even make the same type of racing skis with different broad models that are used on different hard substrates. The length of the racing classic skis to choose from 20 to 30 cm longer than the competitor's stature.
Racing Skis - skating
The cross-country skating race are similar phrases as a classic. Just as a racing ski. Thus, they are relatively narrow, not so stable. But sunny days are going fast, and if you can cross-country skate well, it's experience. Performance Time skating skis are selected 5-15 cm longer than the competitor's stature
.. The second you pay attention to the skis sold in supermarkets. When layman hardly recognizable exception is a series of discounted custom made supermarkets. Although they carry skis mostly renowned brand manufacturers skis (let you pay and give it just writing) are not usable for decent skiing. At these cheap-country skiing is a poor base, which holds wax well. The internal structure of these walls is not usually ski in pairs and thus the hardness is usually not the same on two skis. (Correctly the first skis produced and then depending on how that turned out well classified into categories according to the hardness and pairs with the closest similar to the same name). In addition, the materials are such that the skis can soften up to ten times faster than a good ski. Pay great attention to the bindings and boots. The connection between ski and boot is quite a crucial thing. Widespread N75 binding can be recommended only for those who want to walk in the shoes more than ride on skis, or for general BC skis and special shoes (but that's not our conditions for beginners). Then, various types of binding, more or less applicable. I recommend in this area but much nevymэљlet and not to try too much to save. The bindings and boots will not just save. (It is better if you want to save to buy an older model shoes Rottefella than any system as it is produced for a year and will again) when you buy cheap, is really poor. Bindings are only applicable Rottefella and Salomon. Sometimes they also occur under other names such as: Rossignol, Fischer, etc.. But there are only two types of binding. As regards the quality of these two types of binding completely equivalent. .. And for that you have learned well maintained and delete my new skis and recommend Ride ride ride. The track at the station or a pub, a proper lubrication can learn a lot. I wish you wonderful adventures in the snow!!
