Three Basic Skate Ski Techniques Explained

The Missoula Nordic Ski Club demonstrates the three basic techniques of skate skiing:
V1 (or "offset" skating) - it's like first gear/a low gear for starting or going uphill
V2 Alternate (aka "open field") - it's like a high gear for high speeds on flats and downhills
and V2 - a medium gear for accelerating, flats and gradual uphills.
