Goal: Fewest number of glides or pole strokes between cones.
Players: Any number with fewer allowing less standing around.
Equipment: Flat stadium, see diagram, marked by 8 cones, 60 – 100 meters long. Classic tracks and skate lane.
Setup: Choose a technique, double pole or V2 no poles for example. Two skiers start at the first set of cones and gain speed to the second set of cones. Starting at the second cone, the skier counts their turnover cycles to the last cone.
Rules: Skiers repeat to reduce turnovers.
