Cross-country skiing - Skating

Your poles are too short, meaning your body moves more unstable. It is always better to have a bit longer poles, than having too short ones :)

I suggest you look up Tora Berger hereon youtube. look at her poles, her technique suffers due to her short poles. Have fun on the snow folks !

It is the matter of discussion if the poles should be a little bit longer (3-5 cm). I used to race and the shorter poles dont need so much strenght, which is much more comfortable for me now.

Nice. I'm planning on taking some lessons here in Colorado this winter. Hopefully I can get that good eventually.
