Cross-country skis leave the skier's heel fully detached
HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART
Because completely locking your foot to a slippery plank is just for downhill amateurs. Cross-country skiing requires a striding motion that mimics walking, so only the very tip of the boot is secured to the binding. Every step allows the heel to lift freely, providing excellent propulsion while keeping the sheer panic of minimal control completely intact.
One discovery leads to another.
