How to Cross Country Ski UPHILL -- Key Tips (pt 2 of 2)

[Cancundudley]

I've got dead nerves in my feet and I've never been in snow until three years ago, so I've been muddling through XC skiing. People have tried to teach me, but I couldn't get it, so I've been resigned to just go out by myself and do what I can, happy to get out and get my heart rate up. But these two videos (How to XC Ski, part 1 and 2) somehow clicked and I felt really comfortable today, I went more than 50% faster over my usual route, with less wasted energy. I can't thank you enough.

Thank you for that. I have a trouble going downhill - Went head over heels - and crouched down - guess I put too much weight forward -- are you supposed to stand tall when going downhill?

I allways fell at our skiing. especially when going up a hill.. I prefer falling down when sliding. but. its really hard to get up when you fell from going up a hill.

Great video! Great tips! I love that you are not encouraging people to purchase brand new expensive ski gear! Vintage works just fine. Thanks!

Someone should submit this video to the Smithsonian as evidence of a heretofore unknown missing link! "Powderbasket retronordicus". Why did you wait 30 years before publishing this footage? .....What do you mean this isn't from the 1970's?!?
