Distances gradually increase to        match your skiers' increased skill and challenge their muscular and        cardiorespiratory capacities. In the first 10 lessons, students practice        basic skills indoors and then on snow, learning the diagonal stride        technique (with and without poles) and how to double-pole, climb, and        descend gentle hills.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Then, 10 lessons for intermediate skiers continue work on the diagonal        stride as well as improving hill climbing and descending techniques,        stops, speed control, and maneuverability. These lessons also challenge        students with increasing length of glide, shifting weight to commit to        the gliding ski, and using poling action for propulsion.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e       Finally, 10 advanced lessons help your skiers achieve a diagonal stride        that is rhythmic and continuous even over hillier and longer trails. In        addition to refining their diagonal stride technique, your skiers will        have fun learning the stem christie, traversing steeper hills, and        edging.     \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeaching Cross-Country Skiing\u003c\/i\u003e also includes the history and        benefits of cross-country skiing, which you can use in developing a        cross-country skiing unit or interdisciplinary unit.
