In cross country skiing, a "bale" refers to a type of fall or tumble that a skier experiences, often resulting from loss of balance or control. It typically involves the skier collapsing or rolling to the ground, which can happen during turns, descents, or when navigating uneven terrain. A bale can be minor or more significant, depending on the circumstances and the skier's ability to recover quickly. While falls are common in skiing, learning to fall safely can help minimize the risk of injury.
No cross-country skiing and skiing are two completely different things. They require different equipment. There are "slope" skis which most people are used to that attach to your foot and boot completely. The cross country skis have your heel loose to make it easier to propel yourself forward.

Cross Country. It incorporates running. I do cross country, but not track... in the track season I play softball! :) I think you should to XC if you can run at least 2 miles without getting tired!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is a trick, NOTHING can replace running. NOTHING, cross-country would be best. I did cross-country first then did track to keep me in the running mood. Cross-country is a very good running sport, and is much more competitive. But sometimes you're better at sprinting than running distance, or sometimes you're better at distance than sprinting. Try it out and see if you like it!
