roller skiing

Wheeled snow simulation

Roller skiing is a form of cross-country ski training performed on paved surfaces using wheeled skis.

The skis have narrow frames with small wheels that allow the same poling and striding motions as snow skiing.

Competitive skiers use it for off-season conditioning: She spent the summer roller skiing on mountain roads.
