I am someone who has never tried Cross-country skiing or I have used the equipment but couldn’t work out what I was supposed to be doing

I have grasped the basics of diagonal stride or skate and the techniques for gentle downhill and uphill slopes.

I have a grasp of most techniques and when to apply them. I am comfortable covering many kilometres at a respectable pace.

I am comfortable with all techniques and on all terrain but would like to refine some of the techniques. I can wind up the speed and really travel.
