Write your question here...Hi - I'm a pretty fit 45 year old - cycling (including racing),running and weight training. I'm looking for a ski that I can use this winter for classic and skating. Nothing fancy needed. Is there such a ski? Is there one for sale here? Thanks, CDT

The short answer is no. If you are really good at waxing you could take a skate ski and make it work for classic, but it would be less than ideal. A waxless classic ski (the kind with scales in the middle) would be extremely taxing to skate with. If you are looking for some good cross training for cycling and go skate style. I ditched the trainer years ago in favor of skate skis and loved it. It is much easier to get an aerobic workout from skating right away than it is from classic style. I would also suggest you take a lesson so you are less likely to form bad habits that become hard to break down the road.
