Nordic Skiing Technique Tips - Uphill Diagonal Stride

Maintain excellent weight transfer. Assume the same body positioon relative to the ground as for the diagonal stride. Drive the foot of the striding leg as far uphill as possible on each stride before weighting it. Make sure that the toes and ankle of the leading leg are in front of the knee. As the legs stride through, keep the hips low to the ground. Make sure that the push leg is still in a stright line with the torso at the end of the push phase.
