“I’ve been using Nordic Ski Lab almost daily. My wife and I both love it! The information is clearly presented and easy to understand. Thank you so much for the work you and your friends at NSL have put into the videos and the website. It surpasses by far anything else I have been able to find online.”
“I have access to several instructors and coaches, but your program fills a niche that they don’t. Your videos, your top-drawer models, and your insightful and nuanced discussions have a lasting impact. In this format, I can watch the segments over and over: then, they’re in my head when I ski.”
“I love the site. It has changed my classic ski completely and improved my one-skate far better than any lessons I have taken. So…thank you! Skiing is more enjoyable because of your work.”
“Nordic Ski Lab is awesome! I feel like I’m skiing better already. The Offset (V1) info and videos have solved many of my technique questions. It’s clear that you have a passion for the sport, helping others improve, and digging deeper into the thinking and even philosophy of nordic technique.”
“I’m grateful for everything – from the demos, lectures on healthy movement, drills, the blog… everything is thorough and of excellent quality. You have such a wonderful gift for breaking things down and explaining them! Thanks so very much!”
“As a CANSI Level 4 instructor with over 25 years of experience, I’ve found the Nordic Ski Lab to be an invaluable resource. The up-to-date content , exceptional demonstrations, and clear explanations in every video make it stand out. Kim’s attention to detail enhances overall experience. It’s become an indispensable tool in my teaching and personal skiing pursuits. Keep up the great work!”
“Your site is my new favourite thing on the Internet. I’m telling all my ski buddies.”
“I really like your website. I’m a PSIA level 3 instructor, USSA level 100 certified coach. I find your video analysis and teaching explanations so helpful to my own development as a skier and an instructor.”
“I am a long time, self taught Nordic skier (mainly skate). I stumbled upon the Nordic Ski Lab this winter and found the instructional videos and drills to be incredibly helpful. My form has rapidly improved, despite years of misguided muscle memory. This has been so rewarding that I started roller skiing and will continue through the offseason. I am glad to have found this community!”

Nordic Ski Lab members:
Nordic Ski Lab is a completely different experience. There’s no standing around in the cold while a coach talks. You can watch videos as many times as you like. Slow motion videos are especially powerful and cannot be matched by in-person lessons. Many of our members experience rapid improvement. Please read the reviews to learn more.
Video members can submit skiing videos for feedback, though analysis is not guaranteed.
Analyzed videos are shared within the membership. There’s a popular library of member-submitted videos you can browse—perfect if you’re hesitant about sharing your own. Many members find it reassuring to see others’ skiing first.
You can also ask for technique help in the private members forum. Nordic Ski Lab is home to thousands of skiers and coaches from around the world, many of them experts who freely share tips and advice. It’s a friendly, supportive community.
Whether we analyze your video depends mainly on the quality of the footage, not the quality of your skiing.
