April 11, 2017

John (Miami), Mariana (Miami), Christie (Jensen Beach) – the Florida invasion. So warm today, no wind down low, think we all overdressed a bit. What a roller coaster day as far as ‘I don’t get it’, ‘This is hard’, ‘Starting to get it a little’, Now it’s totally gone’, ‘wow, think I’m figuring this out’. How to get out of the hard edge wedge, tipping to the uphill edged, leg rotation (call if foot steering if you want), hands on knees, pole under arm, pole balance, bigger radius turns, more down hill then start to shape and skid, hockey slides, hop turns, staying balanced, position of strength, hips over feet, speed control with friction and shaping. Delightful day, thank you.IMG_1043

  1. What a wonderful experience today was. Thank you so much for being so patient and dedicated; I now feel confident enough to explore the mountain. You are the best instructor I could have possibly gotten; because of you I will be able to enjoy skiing the rest of the week. It was such a pleasure getting to know you and hope to see you on another occasion.
