Laurel, Jenny, Rebecca, Diane, Olive – the Thursday hardy lot, and this was a hardy day … wow, it was cold, temp around 5 degrees or so, wind a howler, two runs and warm up. No real teaching today (well, maybe just a little), bumps on every run … Dukes, High A, Little Johnny, Crescendo, with Rounders thrown in for good measure. If there was a focus: ‘commit to the new turn with CM/feet crossing over/under, pressure the new outside ski edge right at transition (maybe even before), steer the new inside ski (the outside ski will follow – always!), flexion at ankles/knees/hip, stay countered to the outside of the turn, skid and shape, slipping good to adjust line in bumps, the pole plant helps stabilize the upper body and commits the CM down the mountain’. Thanks for coming out to play! We are skiers – some days it’s just COLD. IMG_3752
