Fischer does not sell to consumers directly. To find a specific ski, binging or boot or a particular size, contact your local Fischer dealer to inquire about it's availability. If they do not carry the model you wish to purchase, our authorized dealers can place a special order for you. You can use the ski selector on the website to determine what ski, boot, or binding might be right for you. The two basic cross-country ski techniques are Classical and Skating.
Classical skiing is the oldest and most recognized technique.
You can classic on groomed trails or off-trail in the backcountry. In classic technique, your skis remain parallel and point in the direction of travel. You propel yourself forward when the midsection of the ski contacts the snow during the kick phase. The sticky kick wax or waxless Crown pattern on your ski resists your rearward kick, thus propelling you forward. Skate skiing is very similar to ice-skating or inline skating.
