Re: Ski Movies
That is what you get when you combine a culture that grew up on xc skis with the availability of modern medicine and possibly a little red bull. Also my guess is those guys have a lot of extra skis around to get you through learning process.

Re: Ski Movies
I liked that video very much, thanks Rod.
It was cool to see all the different styles and approaches to skiing on those skis, and it's all still very relevant for those skiing on what we call XCD today.
I think I'd pass on skiing anything over 200cm though... even with long flats.

Re: Ski Movies

Re: Ski Movies
Yeh, thats what I was thinking, those Italian instructors are novices at best.
