Equipment
For ski jumping participants use long, wide skis to assist in flight. For the cross-country section, skiers use shorter skis for the free technique. The choice of wax is crucial, depending on the weather conditions and gliding wax will be applied to the whole base o the ski rather than “gripping” was to the middle section as in classical races. The complete Nordic skiing wardrobe consists of the special body suits, skis and boots for jumping and the wax, skis, poles and suits for cross-country.
