i didnt know cross country was more popular, but if it is i guess its because you dont need lifts, and also you dont need mountains, also many snowy countries like Iceland, are flatter, and the population use cross country skiing as a form of transport.

Quite a bit is different. The gear is different, the skis are straight, as opposed to downhill skis being curved (the curve makes it easier to turn on a downhill slope), the boots in cross country are not stationary in the bindings, as downhill boots are, instead you can move the heels, and the poles used in cross country are longer. Also, the slopes are not nearly as steep as in downhill skiing.
