Andrew, Joanna and Rachel – the English flavor to a grand day of skiing. Solid leve 9 all mountain skiers, what a fun day of challenging ourselves and finding new terrain. A few topics of discussion: some pressure on both skis, initiate the next turn with a ‘neutral’ then leading with the new inside ski, narrower stance to enable independent leg steering, everything uphill fowared (especially the hand and arm), the ‘position of power’, tactics in bumps – when and when not to explore the trough, hip position, let the zipper face more down the mountain, keep feet/hips/shoulders alignment to enable leg steering of the femurs in the hip sockets. What ripping fun to know anything on the mountain is the playground. Thank you for our day!005 008 009 013 016 016 019
