- jodrellblank 6y agoCross country skiing isn't downhill skiing.
- jimbob45 6y agoCross country skiing can be downhill skiing but downhill skiing can never be XC skiing.
- sojournerc 6y agoNot so. Telemark skis are made for both hiking and downhill. Also going downhill on cross country skis is much different as there is no metal edge.
- kbutler 6y agoSo, yes, you can go downhill on cross-country skis, but you can't go cross-country on downhill skis? (Telemark and alpine touring skis are variants of Nordic skis that shift closer to the downhill pattern, with alpine touring bindings and skis allowing selectable free or rigidly bound heel).
- matsemann 6y agoYes, so cross country / nordic skiing is fine (it's what it's made for, downhill skiing is something completely different than xc). Same for running, it's fine. Basically all cardio it works great. You just don't want something to bump it into your teeth. For the dangerous downhill slopes when xc skiing I just spit it out first if I feel the need to play it safe (attached to a lanyard).
- serf 6y agoI mean, I guess it's fine -- but i've witnessed people fall flat on their face through a variety of winter sports; I definitely wouldn't want anything bulkier than a mouthguard in place if that were to happen to myself.
- matsemann 6y agoBut I think it's mostly motionists or above with fairly good skills that goes outside no matter the weather. A beginner in danger of falling would probably be more of a "happy camper" type and choose days with nicer conditions. Or if falling is a strong possibility I guess I'd recommend the mask variant instead.
