High-resolution video
Top-quality video recordings that can be used offline make it possible to study tech-nique both indoors, during theory sessions, as well as outdoors on the trails.

Move-ment sequences can be observed both in real time and in slow motion, and the viewer can switch between individual picture navigation and still pictures with ex-planatory texts. Graphic elements in the videos highlight the correct execution of the individual steps.

«We are pleased that, together with our athletes led by Olympic champion Dario Cologna, this app has enabled us to establish valuable principles for everyone interested in cross-country skiing» Hippolyt Kempf, head of cross-country skiing at Swiss-Ski, commented enthusiastically.
