So planning for this winter, it looks like XC skiing makes the most sense as a way to compliment indoor workouts, due to a recent arm injury, social distancing, etc. I've resisted getting back into nordic skiing due to the expense for whats mostly a secondary sport. I'd like to get skis/bindings/boots/poles that are decent for workouts but if I ever compete I'm willing to get new equipment. At this point pretty sure it will be skating only, but it wouldn't hurt if I could do classic with the same skis.
Whats the best way to get a solid setup on a budget? Looks like most of the local sales are on Covid hiatus, who knows if there will be any swaps. Should I buy used or is that asking for trouble? Buy online?
