Doug, Steve, Mark, Mike. Circa 1982 maybe. Top of the Island.
Props to My Old Mackinac Island Pals…
Not such great skiing.
...But at least it's skiing!
Well, double poling, anyway. And stumbling when they stop on a stick. And slipping around on ice. There's this one 30-yard stretch though that's *heavenly*.... (Some folks will do anything!)
What I’m Skiing on These Days…
OK, maybe this picture is helpful. Here I am, getting ready to kick with my right foot. I've dropped my weight onto my right foot and my knee and ankle are flexed. My posture is "forward". When I kick I'll press down as I fall/tip forward then I'll catch myself with my other foot. Kicking is mostly just changing my weight from foot to foot. In skiing you have to smoothly "plant" a foot to get it to grip so you can step onto the other foot. Good luck! : )
Learn How to XC Ski (for real, the easy way)
A super day-tour rig, but didn't have a good enough ski repair system. Goodbye to a great set of skis: Fischer Tour Lights. So light! 1991...never made again. They lasted 15 years of hard action. Wonderful...
