John – Canton, OH. An hour (more like two after we looked at a little Josh Foster video in the Vista Haus) in the afternoon: how to control speed on steeper terrain/bumps/off piste/ice. Well John, think I gave you a new mantra and enough to keep the mind and skis busy for awhile. Counter, what is really going on with the hips, how do turns initiate, how does pressure shift from ski to ski, what is leg steering, rounder turn shape, ski grip (this is good stuff to never lose, even at initiation), coming off the hard edge, more skidding and shaping, use more of the ski bottoms (good friction here), skiing a narrower corridor (make yourself do this John, it will help with the shorter radius turns that are more slidee (don’t think that’s a real word but it is descriptive) that have a nice semi-circle shape). Lot of stuff in an hour, huh … it all ties together as you will slowly but continually realize. Hey, if was easy they would call it basketball!!IMG_3779
