Cross-country skiing, the oldest form of skiing, began as a way to travel across snowy terrain and became a sport in the late 19th century. It challenges athletes' endurance as they race long distances on skis using various techniques.

The 9th Asian Winter Games features two skiing techniques, classical and freestyle. In the classical style, skiers glide forward with parallel skis. Freestyle, a faster technique, involves a side-to-side motion similar to speed skating or rollerblading.
