XC Skiiing

[rutt]

I've been working on getting some good action shots of XC skiing. I've taken lots of candid portraits of people not quite skiing, but the sport is so beautiful when done right, I'd really like to capture that. Yesterday the high school teams were practicing by having head-to-head races without poles. When skate skiing is done well without poles, it really looks a lot like speed skating (no surprise).
