Choose the right SIZE
The size of a cross-country ski is chosen according to your level of ability and weight rather than your height.
45 - 60kg = 173cm
55 - 70kg = 180cm
65 - 85kg = 186cm
80- 95kg = 192cm
Waxing, the secret of durability!
When buying skis, we recommend that you prepare the base well to achieve an optimum glide. Several consecutive waxings are best to "nourish" the base properly.
To maintain the performance of your skis, don't forget to wax them regularly!
To wax your skis, check out our tutorials on our Inovik YouTube channel or book an appointment in your Decathlon workshop
