Cross-Country Skis

Cross-country skis or Nordic skis are lighter and narrower than those used in downhill skiing. With so many different types of skis, it can be difficult to choose the right set. Each type is sized and designed differently. The length of the skis affects maneuverability. The side-cut affects the ease of turning and the width affects the forward motion.

Viking Ski Shop carries several different models of cross-country skis. Some of the top name brands we offer are Fischer, Rossignol, Salomon, and Madshus.
