Cross-country skiing involves athletes skiing across largely flat or very gentle snow-covered terrain, mostly in natural areas like mountains or forests. Unlike alpine skiing, which relies on downhill slopes, cross-country skiing utilizes a gliding motion for forward movement while focusing on endurance, speed, and technique over relatively long distances. The skier uses poles for movement and balance. Depending on the situation, it can be recreational or competitively organized, with events ranging from short sprints to long-distance races. Cross-country skiing requires strength, stamina, and good coordination to maintain speed on different terrains.
