Poles Only

Goal

Tempo is adjusted according to resistance (slope/snow conditions) to maintain forward momentum.

Helps when a skier is unaware of the best arm flex for propulsion when poling.

Details

Have skiers propel themselves forward using only the Diagonal Stride poling action. Start on a slight downhill so the action is easy to perform and a longer poling action can be applied.

Manoeuvres

Skill

Note: Tasks can be adapted to different manoeuvres, skills, and skiers. Try them. Be creative.
