Crosscountry skiing, otherwise called Nordic skiing or XC skiing, is a colder time of year sport that includes skiing across significant distances over fluctuated landscape. Nordic skiing is the name given to it because it was first practiced in Scandinavia and other Nordic countries during the winter as a means of transportation. Crosscountry skiing varies from downhill skiing in that it includes skiing on compliment territory, and the skis are longer and more slender, permitting the skier to skim over the snow as opposed to cut turns. It is a popular winter exercise and endurance sport that is enjoyed by both recreational and competitive skiers.

It really depends on whether your talking about in the Olympics or referring to Nordic skiing as cross country skiing.
Nordic events
Ski jumping: is quite dangerous, but due to the steepness of the landing area, is not as dangerous as you might think.
Cross country skiing: carries very little dangers.
Combined event: carries the same dangers above.
Alpine events such as the slalom, downhill event, super giant slalom ect......
Often feature high speed crashes, this is very likely to injure any skier, so i would say that alpine skiing is more dangerous.
