The diagonal stride is the main technique that many recreational skiers use when they cross country ski. But in fact to stride well means getting good weight shift from ski to ski. However, most recreational skiers that I see ski slowly doing the shuffle - meaning both skis stay in the track. But as Doug shows in this video you can ski at a leisurely pace and still have good technique. For more info on our On Line Fast Track programme contact k2nicol@gmail.com to improve any aspect of your classic or skate skiing. Thanks to our sponsors- Auclair gloves, Craft clothing, Fast wax, Rossignol, and Xcman waxing irons.
