Introducing cross-country skiing!

Do you know cross-country skiing? I think there are many people who say, "I've heard of it, but I haven't actually done it ...".

This time, I would like to introduce this "cross-country skiing" (hereinafter referred to as "XC skiing").

What is XC skiing in the first place?

Skiing was originally born as a means of transportation on accumulated snow.

One of the things that inherited and developed this purpose is XC skiing.

It's easy to think of sports competitions like those held at the Winter Olympics, but the purpose is to approach the snow-covered hinterland and enjoy nature observation along the way by sliding in the wilderness. It is also one of the activities to enjoy the nature of winter, which many enthusiasts say.

Oku-Nikko is a sacred place for XC skiing! ??

The real thrill of XC skiing is skiing on flat or gentle slopes.

Oku-Nikko is ideal for cross-country skiing because it has a stable snowfall and a vast "snow-covered gentle slope".

It has been enjoyed for about 100 years, and there is also an A-class official course of the Ski Association of Japan at Kotoku Onsen.

Oku-Nikko is truly a "sacred place for cross-country skiing with a long history."

The charm of XC skiing ♪

As a snow activity that can be enjoyed in Oku-Nikko, snowshoes are a perfect match for XC skiing.

Snowshoes can be walked in the same way as a normal hike, so anyone can enjoy them immediately.

On the other hand, XC skiing requires some tips, so it takes about half a day of practice, but the biggest attraction is the speed that cannot be imitated by snowshoes.

In terms of image, there is a difference between walking and jogging, and the difference in the range of action is overwhelming, as well as the comfort of gliding!

In some cases, snowshoeing can take a day, but XC skiing can take half a day to make a detour! ??

There are also differences in tools from the seemingly similar slopes, and the underside of the ski is scaly, making it easier to climb slopes.

In addition, the shoes are soft and the heels are lifted, and the stock is longer than the slope skis to generate propulsion.

This allows you to glide over long distances instead of sliding down steep slopes.

How can I enjoy XC skiing?

By now, there may be some people who really want to try XC skiing! ??

Like cross-country skiing, XC skiing requires some practice to ski well.

Around Kotoku Onsen, there are special courses, including hotels that are managed by the hotel, as well as shops where you can rent tools.

First of all, it is recommended to practice in this short course.

For those who want to tell experienced people, there is also a tour like this ♪
