Month: December 2016

Laurel, Mitzi, Jenny, Paula, Chris, Rebecca – no picture today (forgot, but Rebecca did get some video). Inside ski turns, one ski turns, wider arms for stability, let the hips stay with the feet which will result with the ‘inside half’ leading the turn … a few little bumps (no real terrain open yet), a little off piste (‘farmer’s pasture’), early edge change before rotation. Kind of a cold day, light snow, a few laughs – good to all be back together again. I did find an old picture of Laurel skiing powder so will attach that. 

Chris, Paula, Kay, Catharine, Scott – ok snow, not so busy today, sunny, kind of warm, just a good December mild ski day. To sum up our day, all about the hips and their function to support and manage the forces generated by the snow reacting into our feet. Thank you Catharine for lunch chocolate, such a treat.

Brenda, Linda, Don, Charamane, Meow, Nick, Elaine – limited terrain, cold day, but by gosh it’s skiing! Balance and turn initiation … hop turns, then add a pole plant, then be aware of hips, then soften the ‘hop’, early edge change, be aware of what the new inside ski is doing, let the arc develop (don’t rush the turn), add a pole plant, all turns on inside ski, all turns on outside ski, then a blend both, mix it up. Great start to the season. Don and Linda thx for the chocolate.
