CANSI Instructor's Manual - 2013 edition Posted on Nov 13th, 2014

CANSI is pleased to announce that the newest edition of Teaching Nordic Skiing - Instructor’s Manual is now available on cansi.ca. This 2013 edition presents changes to the skating techniques having the skier project the body in the direction of travel rather than the direction of the ski, and changes to double poling and one-step double pole having the skier incorporate some leg action to obtain more propulsion. These changes are highlighted in grey in this version of the manual. Thanks to Ken Schykulski, Marie-Cat Bruno, Guy Lavoie, Larry White, and Joad Clement for their help in creating this new version of the manual. Members can download this 2013 edition or order a hard copy on-line from the Members Area.
