Introduction To Equipment and Waxing
Cross country ski equipment represents some of the very best outdoor recreation gear you will ever buy. In terms of functional design, ease of use, shopping decisions and price...few sports can match the simplicity and quality provided by XC equipment manufacturers.
Yet beginners and veterans alike can still be intimidated by even a few choices. Here we provide essential guides to renting/purchasing cross country ski equipment as well as in-depth information on waxing skis for optimal performance. Please use the navigation menus to find the sections that will help you on your next XC adventure.
Note: We also encourage readers to visit the various retail outfit websites found as sponsors in xcskiworld.com banner ads which often have additional information featured as well as monthly internet specials. These advertisers are helping American Cross Country Skiers bring this free information to the XC ski community and are some of the best equipment resources in the world.
