Nelson, Jessica, Eva – Elk Grove, CA – Level 1 (but somewhere in their past skis had been put on), nice day all and all, mid 30s, not too much wind on lower mountain, 4″ new, kind of sticky on for first 30 minutes. Some single ski push and glide, gliding wedges, how to find and keep balance, some flexion in ankles/knees/hip is good, butt back and upper body too far forward is bad, relaxed, wedge turns for speed control (and see more of the terrain than what’s right in front of the tips), matching in the traverse, weight distribution ski to ski, leg rotation and turning the skis, how tipping controls the edge, turning both skis together. Riding Rip’s Ride chairlift and skiing down from Poma practice area. You are level 3s now, well done, enjoy tomorrow … this is a cool sport, hope you get hooked!
