Eugene, Johanna, Ronia – Cambridge, MA. Started out 6 degrees, maybe made it to 16 degrees, snow squall about 1:00pm that dumped 1.5 inches, did that ever make the skiing good, no wind today (not sure how that happened). Ronia was a level 4 last year, low level 7 now, this kid is rocking, dad a level 7, mom a level 8 … couple of years from now will have a hard time keeping up with them. Race course (one silver and a couple of bronze), leading with the hip, initiating with the hip, come to the new edges then anything is possible, how to steer and shape a turn, skis working together, side slips, coming off the hard edge (this is definitely a recurring theme in teaching), where is balance and how to stay there, finishing the last 10% of the turn, how each leg needs a fulcrum, some bumps, keeping the skis more parallel, Ronia first time up T-bar. This was a killer good day progress day for all, so fun to see advancement, that’s what makes teaching the passion.
