Maybe I'm doing this wrong (which would explain a lot!) but I found when I started out I was using my calves way too much and this caused me to do more of a shuffle than a glide. I made a conscious effort to focus on driving with my quads and it helped a lot. I also overemphasized a toe point just ...

So I was able to get out for another Tiny Tour[emoji769]️ yesterday before work. Very happy. [emoji3] Same preserve, but a very different stretch with far more up-and-down, and more narrow and technical singletrack. I kept the phone away for most of it to focus on form and technique so I have just a...

As far as technique, I would learn basis cross country techniques that includes a strong snowplow turn before you move on to fancier turns. Videos would be good and maybe a book and you'll be on your way. Absolutely want to do this. Any specific recommendation on where to start with books or videos?

So a few thoughts: Have fun! You are already doing this. Think about setting the scales with your weight, kicking off them, and gliding on the other ski. Repeat. You'll get into a rhythm where it won't be "shuffling" but an athletic striding, striving forward into the snow. There are great youtube ...

Thank you, man. Taking photos while being out in the woods alone combines two of my greatest passions. Glad the results are pleasing to others [emoji4]
