Hello everyone, this will be our first classic ski of the season. Please remember all your classic gear and make sure you grip wax your skis well before 11:00 as the wax room will be busy tomorrow with all of the Squads going out at 11 in classic.
We will be working on the diagonal stride technique tomorrow so please remember the following fundamentals while warming up before the video at 11:45 near Fireweed Hut. Take care. Alain
Diagonal stride:
- Good forward position with hips forward and high
- powerful but short kick with leg in full extension after the ski comes off the snow
- glide momentarily on relatively straight leg
- use of the joints in the correct order, biggest to smallest
- full extension at the end of the arms extension
