Cross-country skiing can be one of the most rewarding lifelong outdoor activities a person can pursue. From recreation to competition, “skinny skis” can literally transport us to new places and new levels of health, wellness, and enjoyment.
For all its benefits, though, nordic skiing can also be a HARD sport to fall in love with. Regardless of whether we’re on skate skis or classic skis, figuring out how to move from struggles to smiles can feel like an impossible riddle. The good news is that it’s often small changes which can lead to massive improvements.
The trick is knowing what to look for, and how to fix it. That’s why we’re offering our first-ever online Technique Troubleshooting series. Video can be a powerful tool that improves our coaching and teaching, and helps participants progress more rapidly. In this series you’ll have the opportunity to share and review video, talk technique, and discuss strategies that help you help the people you work with.
In this series you’ll work with a professional nordic ski and biathlon coach on –
Spotting common trouble spots for beginner and intermediate nordic skiers
Developing your critical eye for quality skate and classic technique
Utilizing video to coach, teach, and improve your own understanding
Simple tips and tricks for correcting and overcoming technique challenges that hold skiers back.
