Due to limited natural snow Bretton Woods kindly allowed us to use the alpine Learning Center for some of our clinic where we worked on both uphill and downhill skills. By using the lift participants were able to enjoy more practice time on downhill skills including wedge christies, parallel, and telemark turns. In these videos pods of cross country skiers showcase their skills on skate skis. These skis are designed to go straight, so turning them involves skidding the skis across the snow with plenty of rotational force rather than inclination, angulation, and carving.
