The first video is  Sharon in slow motion, followed by one in normal time.   Below the video are two stop frames showing two things everyone should aim for. Sharon has good weight shift, timing  and an excellent body position.  A couple of small pointers:  the arms are not always consistent. They should be just slightly more bent, and should both pass the hips at each stride.  Upper back could be more relaxed.  Hips can be slightly more forward, ahead of your heels.  Great skiing, Sharon!

(perhaps should have said "provided the boot is off the snow".   The tip of the ski will be touching of course.

Below you can see Janey's admirably coordinated and relaxed "skiing".  Great timing, good body position and poling. This could never be confused with running.

At the risk of embarrassing Kathy I wanted to show some of her specific (and excellent) technical skills.
