Snow skating is an alternative to regular cross-country skiing. With snow skating you could average twice the speed that a cross-country skier gets. Snow skating is usually done on specially designed trails at Nordic skiing resorts. Sometimes if conditions are just right snow skating can be done on in other areas.
