Alexandria – St. Louis, MO. This was your day it all started to make sense, terrific. Whales Tale, hike Peak 7, Whiskey River, Lost Cabin. Hips more open to the turn, staying flexed throughout the turn (reduce the body rise at turn initiation), when flexed at ankles/knees/hip the tipping and steering works easier and initiation cleaner, arms no higher than waist, hands wider than elbows (athletic position), the pole touch is coming along – that is good, more speed and confidence on the groomers – that is good. Well done Alex, this is the day we were looking for!
