Cross-country skiing is experiencing a real boom in this winter 2020/2021 without ski lifts. The spacing is ensured because it is practiced individually, one behind the other at least two meters away, in contact with nature. It is also an excellent exercise for our well-being, because it is an aerobic sport. So why not turn bans into opportunities and spend a few hours doing sports and breathing fresh and clean air? This is what many have thought and in fact the sales of cross-country skis and shoes have increased. Furthermore, compared to alpine skiing, it is much easier and even a beginner in a few hours becomes master of his own destiny. After all, it is a kind of ski race and those who come from running, familiar with tools and balances, will find themselves at ease. To help those looking for reliable skis and above all easy to manage, in any situation, there are the new 'skin' models. In practice, they eliminate the complicated waxing operations to have the right smoothness, but above all hold, on different types of snow, which relegated narrow skis to true enthusiasts. The principle is very simple: under the skis, in a central position, there is a thin strip of textile fur (what was once called sealskin and is now in synthetic-nylon or mohair fabric) that lets the ski slide over the downhill or on the flat, but it prevents them from sliding backwards on climbs. So the tools are always ready, without the need for special maintenance. Easy, right? Rossignol, a leading brand, also used by the strongest Italian cross-country skier, Federico Pellegrino, offers a wide 'Skin' range, in which the unisex X-Ium R-Skin model stands out, with an excellent quality / price ratio. X-Ium R-Skin takes advantage of the lightness of a Nomex honeycomb structure (weighs 550 grams per rod in the 198 cm size) and costs 399.99 euros. It can be combined with the Race Classic bindings (54.99 euros) and the comfortable X-10 Classic shoe, which costs 229.99 euros.
