I have both styles of XC ski. My OLD skis have a hickory bottom that I had to coat with pine tar so that the wax would stick. However climbing had to be done with the herringbone technique. My new skis have fish scales which prevent back sliding and as stated forward grip when kicking. I never did the skating style.
