Bio

I have been coaching runners and skiers for over 25 years. Now I'm also hosting Nordic Walking Classes and promoting real Nordic Walking Poles. I launched the American Nordic Walking System and 5 years ago. My background in the ski industry made it crystal clear that cheap twist-locking poles should be avoided. Our durable one-piece Nordic Walking Poles are safer, lighter and much more user-friendly. Our quality one-piece poles are available in 14 different lengths - more than any other retailer in North America. 

According to Nick Mahood, SWIX USA Nordic Walking Director, "Pete Edwards, The American Nordic Walking System and SKIWALKING.COM's owner/founder/coach, has single handedly introduced thousands of Americans to Nordic Walking through his enthusiastic Nordic Walking clinics! I have no doubt that Edwards is the #1 retailer of Nordic Walking Poles in the USA! You can quote me on that!"
