| Cross Country & Down Hill Skiing In Ontario |
Cross Country Skiing in Ontario Canada,is the world's finest
fitness activity involving
a simultaneous
use of arms and legs utilizing
ski equipment
including boots, poles,
and skis. The primary
functional difference between
Cross
Country Skiing and Downhill
skiing is that
in Cross Country, the skier
is attached
to the ski only with the
toe of the boot--with
the heel "free".
In Downhill skiing,
the
entire foot is attached
to the ski. The free
heel allows a Downhill
Skier to climb,
descend and traverse terrain
making the sport
a truly "cross country"
activity.
In Downhill skiing and
snowboarding, the
participant is limited
to the range
of downhill slope.
