Fundamental Ski Movements: Coach Jim Bennett put together a great summary of the 5 key movements in cross country skiing along with suggestions for drills.  These movements and drills are a key part of the CXC Coaches Training and Certification course. During dryland, after the warm-up, we'll be leading the skiers through these at every practice.  On-snow, it's a great way to start your session with your group of skiers.  Click here to view
