A "ski du fond" is a French term that refers to a type of cross-country skiing. It is also known as Nordic skiing in English.

Cross-country skiing involves sliding on snow using skis, but unlike downhill skiing, it is typically done on flat or rolling terrain. The skis used for cross-country skiing are longer, thinner, and lighter than those used for downhill skiing. The binding on the ski allows the heel to lift off the ski, enabling a gliding motion.

To get started with cross-country skiing, you will need a pair of cross-country skis, boots, and poles. It's important to choose the right length of skis based on your height and weight. You'll also need to dress appropriately for the weather conditions, including wearing layers and wearing gloves, a hat, and sunglasses or goggles.

Once you have the necessary equipment, you can find cross-country ski trails or designated areas in areas with snow-covered landscapes. Cross-country skiing can be a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get a full-body workout. It's important to learn and practice the proper techniques to maximize your enjoyment and efficiency while skiing. There are many instructional videos, classes, and ski resorts that offer lessons to help you get started with cross-country skiing.
