Ski Styles

There are many different styles of skiing, The largest of these is alpine, or downhill skiing. That is when you take a lift up the hill and ski down. There are also different types of alpine skiing such as freestyle or mogul skiing. The next type of skiing is nordic or cross country skiing, That is when you go across flat land by skating, gliding, or pushing with your poles. The third type of skiing is telemarking, some people consider this a kind of alpine skiing because you are skiing down the hill, others call it a style of it’s own. The main difference is that the heel of the boot can come free like a cross country ski.
