cross-country ski
Flat-terrain snow slider
Cross-country skiing moves across flat or gently rolling terrain rather than downhill, using long narrow skis and poles for propulsion.
The skis themselves are cross-country skis: I need to wax my cross-country skis.
As a verb, to cross-country ski is to engage in the activity: We cross-country skied through the woods all morning.
