Grace – UK. Light bulb day, it’s clicking. Some hockey stop kind of things to generate more ski/snow pressure, turns/slides over berm, more extension at transition (this one worked well) to release edge pressure and allow the ski to change edge and direction, less upper body rotation/more hips and shoulders down the mountain, hands on knees to feel the balance with flexed ankles. Colorado Super Chair and Springmeire, first piece of a blue run, was no problem. Take care Grace, enjoy this vacation, I enjoyed our skiing, you are a good student because you listen and try.

Grace (UK), Fred (Denver). Start on the magic carpet, graduate from their in less than an hour, up Rip’s Ride to the platter, wedge glides, wedge turns, matching during the traverse, how to skid, tipping the inside ski early to aid in matching, some weight on inside ski, speed control (friction and turning – both happen together). . Chair 5 to finish out the day. Amazing progress guys, well done.
