The XC Skiing thread

[teleguy57]

I am going to opine that if it's a slog you don't get it at all: it's a dance, pure and simple.

Yes! That's even the language the Norge's use for several skate techniques -- single dance and double dance. And that's how I can feel when I'm in the zone on my tele skis.

Of course, knowing the dance is there can really do your head in when for whatever reason is becomes a slog. And like the man with the hammer, the dance becomes a slog at times of its' own choosing... But when it all comes together, wow.
