  • Answer:

    Nordic skiing and cross country skiing are the same thing, it involves using very thin skis and boots connected only at the toe. you can ski across flat snow, it is a great work out. Telemarking is a variation on alpine where the bindings are connected only at the toe, you turn by bending your knees and planting your pole. They are mainly used for powder skiing. Ski jumping involves using very long skis and a man made track. the track has guides that take you down all the way to the lip of the jump. In competition he who jumps the farthest wins. And alpine, well thats what you think of when you think of skiing, down hill

well it has 2 main catergories and jumping comes under distance i think but as there are only a couple different ones its not a main catergorie. but the race and freestyle catergories. race : slalom,giant slalom, cross country, nordic skiing etc and freestyle : moguls (comes under race as well but has more freestyle as the key of it is to get as many points by tricks ), aerial, halfpipe, big air, qauter pipe and so much more. to cut it short the racing point is to get the fastest time and the freestyle is to get the most points from tricks and the others catergories are distance, target shooting ( the triatholon) and etc

cross country skiing is like a race. alpine skiing is the normal or average skiing you see most people doing. ski jumping is literally skiing down a large ramp and doing jumps for distance.
