"There are two types of skiers: ones that are going to fall, and ones that have fallen" LOL

I went snow shoeing with a group from school and no back pack on me( others had them-I was exhausted! & I was 40 years younger! But I might try dads in the yard on a really good day

I have been x-country skiing several years and my greatest nemesis has been getting up after a fall :o( THANK YOU for showing a technique that is so much easier than anything I've tried before!!

After taking my first ever ski lesson last Sunday, in preparation for April 2015 North Pole expedition with Polar Explorers, this was a huge help!

Shaytards101 I started with nordic but if you know downhill then the downhills will not be a problem. however, uphill may need some getting used to. I don't know for sure. but yes, it is very easy to learn nordic if you know downhill.

voltage80x Their technique is horrible, so it may look silly in this video. Skiing wasn't very silly when Soviet Union attacked us and our troops moved fast in the snow due to knowing how to ski. I do it a lot with my friends because it's fun and it's done in the army.
