I race skimo, Nordic skiing and trail racing. if you are serious about skimo racing, you *must* get coaching on good technique. you cannot be competitive at the elite level with an exceptional aerobic engine but only 90% good technique. the last 10% of technique is the difference between 1st and last. you have the engine, now learn how the elites ski....eg . you must transfer weight and glide, etc. but learning the technique is easier than having to build an aerobic engine
I wish there were resources available for non-sponsored trail runners to learn ski mountaineering. There's literally nothing out there for trail runners who want to learn this. Only info for skiing downhill in resorts.
Do NOT buy atomic skis, specifically the atomic bents. They’re pieces of shit that will break if they hit anything. Terrible ski and even worse customer service and support. Do yourself a favor and actually buy a good pair of skis. Will never buy from atomic ever again. Terrible company.
Oh geez, this deserves more views! Beautifully done 👏
Holy cow, I had no idea this was a sport, I love trail running and skiing, so might have to look into it

They can learn skimo just like everybody else who makes money by going to work ...
