Many people are told that cross country skiing is easy--"If you can walk you can ski". Unfortunately it isn't that simple. This video suggests that cross country skiing's tag line should be " If you can run you can ski". Remember that the running drill shown here develops weight shift- when you actually ski be sure to lengthen out stride but maintain the weight shift. Thanks to my sponsors - Auclair gloves and Infinity Ski Poles. Skier Keith Nicol is a Level 4 CANSI ski instructor. Below are some other videos that will improve your classic skiing.
