Ski Skiing

Can I go cross country skiing on downill ski, or the other way around?

I want to go cross country skiing on downhill skis, but I’m afraid l will strain my ankles.

yes but you need to mount tele (telemark) bindings on the downhill skis, and get some tele boots . the one real issue is the weight of the kit, which is heavy er than pure cross country stuff so you will get more tired. But it works, it is handy for those bad weather days when the value of a lift ticket is questionable. you can also parallel turn with tele bindings and the tele boots are a lot more comfortable. this is not a setup i would recommend for Nordic or Alpine racing but the overall versatility that one gets with the setup is great
