Nordic Skiing Technique Tips - Two Skate

Double-pole on every second ski push. Leg push is equal on both sides. Recover the arms smoothly. Direction in the first half of the manoeuvre is toward that of the push ski, while in the sceond half it is toward the new direction of travel. Use the same leg action as in the free skate.

These points are taken from "The Instructor's Manual for Teaching Nordic Skiing" put out by CANSI
