How do core trail runners and bicycle racers perform aerobic exercise in the snow? They chose the Nordic Trail-because there is no better whole body aerobic exercise than skating. There are many options for beginners, but if you are serious about racing, this is the ski for you. The secret lies in a wider tip and tail, which not only provides greater stability, but also helps you take larger strides to achieve fast and efficient sliding. $600; shop.atomic.com

Lightweight, natural and sporty, instead of feeling bulky. US$300; tsloutdoor.com
