Nordic Skiing Technique Tips - One-Step Double Poling

Start in the gliding position with hands even with the hips. Transfer weight completely to one ski and execute an effective push phase. As the push phase occurs, both arms move forward in preparation for the double poling phase. As the upper-body drops and the double-poling motion occurs, recover the rear leg to a position beside the support foot. Double-pole and recover to the upright position as for double poling.
