Frigid Dynamics FAQs

Quick answers to the things you’re wondering—so you can decide if E-XC is right for you.

Not at all. Electric skis enhance the time you spend outside in the snow. You’re still carving, balancing, engaging your core, legs, and stabilizer muscles the entire time. The electric assist simply helps with momentum and longer runs, meaning you can ski farther and stay out longer. Think of it like an e-bike: you’re still active, just with smarter support.
