cross-country skiers
Winter trail athletes
Cross-country skiers are people who travel over snow on long, narrow skis, propelling themselves with poles rather than relying on downhill slopes or lifts.
The sport emphasizes endurance over terrain that rises and falls: Cross-country skiers covered thirty kilometers through the forest.
The term can describe recreational participants or competitive athletes in Nordic skiing events.
