Brilliant video – really clear and easy to understand. Thanks! 🙂
I have not crossed country skied in years. Do modern ski’s need to be waxed and if so then how often?
Thank you so much, clear and great tips!, please keep posting videos..
Looking forward to getting my first set of cross country skis! Thanks for the great video
Hey um this video did not help at all
Its like speed walking on skis !
excellent short course
Great video! We’ll give it a try next week!
I’d give the manual NNN BC bindings a go. The Automatic clip in bindings are a bit hit or miss esp. if they clog up with ice.
Thanks for the video! Very helpful
Very good!!!
I think it would be fun to ski and also be great for working on my balance for curling
Thanks for the great video. I live in Calgary, Canada. It’s been a particularly long and snowy winter so I have decided to look into cross country skiing. Your video was very helpful.
Thank you for the great teaching video
Toblach is a wonderful place
Thanks for the video, just bought my Ski and starting this season! Can’t wait 😀
I wonder what type of accent you have
Excellent video! Well done! First cross country trip for me tomorrow.
Nice video
Excellent
what type of coat are you wearing, my husband really likes it . . is it fleece? what type of material is it
Thanks. Excellent tutorial, the best on the subject. It helped me a lot!
Loved the bloopers at the end. Nice video!
I would not put too much weight forward when going down hill and don’t remain bolt upright or you will have a nasty fall and go forward and tumble .If you must crash on a descent then having your buttock ready for the impact is better. You should sit your weight down onto your ankles and bindings and lower your centre of gravity .Bend the knees!!!
Thanks so much!
Fantastic video! It has helped me so much!
Very informative, I just started CCS, great fun.
Very informative. Thank you!
