Michelle – Wolverine Lake, MI … a cold day but nothing like yesterday, much less wind, a little sun, mountain most busy. Michelle no ski in five years, like riding a bicycle, no problem. What is leg steering, boot work practice, how do tipping and steering play together (been volumes of material written on this subject), not so ‘one ski’ dependent, initiating with the new inside ski (or at least not initiating with the new outside ski), how and when does the weight transfer, how to make shorter radius turns, flexion of the ankles/knees/hip, what is a balanced stance and how to maintain it throughout the turn. It was not an issue free day – husband damaged his knee, Alex had no lunch money, daughter rocked it and embraced children’s ski school. Thank you for an enjoyable day, may your week be completely hassle free … no overthinking this stuff, ok, just go out and have fun, the pieces will start to fall in place. IMG_3813
