Angie, Angie, Scott – College Station – incredibly warm day – good snow – lots of sun – mushy by mid afternoon. Hip, shoulder, hand postition … how to progress from a step/lift/edge push type turn to a release, steer both feet into the fall line, shape with leg steering and complete each turn (even back up the hill just a bit) for speed control. Be patient at both start and finish of each turn to feel the pressure on both feet, let the feet drift away from the center of mass and enjoy the skidding/shaping sensation of using the skeletal system to support those feet/skis and not the thigh muscles trying to hold opposing edges. Thank you for a great day and kindness – see you next year, we have blue slopes to tackle.
