Loppet Training

I took my students out for a two hour ski on very hilly terrain. This teaching video, cuts in images from the current U-23 World Championships, along with footage from our skiing on the Ladies Five and the East Mountain Loop. The major take-aways are keep your hips forward, aggressive foot drive, and concentrate on weight transfer directly under your hips. Their technique was spotty at the end of the session when we were videotaping, but my kids seem ready!
