A few years ago I thought I would simplify my life and spring for an xc skiing set up that would use one pair of boots and one pair of skis that could accommodate both kick and glide as well as skate. [Living in NYC, I ski only a few times a year and my equipment, fish scales on K & G skis & waxed with 3 pin bindings, could qualify for social security] I was told that one needed 2 full sets of gear, one for each discipline.
But I just watched the mens Olympic xc event where skiers start classic, then transition to skate. They used the same boot. Does this mean there is a "holy grail" boot/binding? This could translate to 2 pairs of skis /w bindings, 2 pairs of poles, but one boot.
