How To Choose The Right Skis For Double-Poling?
Some years ago, it was usual to see elite skiers using the traditional diagonal striding technique in long distance races. Most of the effort was made by the legs and, at the beginning, skis were waxed from head to tail guaranteeing a very good grip, and the poles were so short that could not allow a strong push with the arms.
But when long distance skiing began taking steps to towards professionalization, and with the evolution of equipment, elite skiers realized that double-poling was the best technique for moving faster when racing long distance. Upper body power became an important characteristic to our sport. When an athlete has a strong push and a good technique, he or she may decide not to use grip wax and therefore enjoy a better glide.
