Larry, Renee, Stephanie, Josh – Manhattan … second day in row skiers from New York City. Good weather except for around noon, sun on both ends of that. Everyone working on a little different focus but a common underlying thread. Get out of the wedge, learn to skid and slide and slip, early pressure to inside edge of new outside ski, let new inside ski ‘show’ the way, hop turn, find the maintain a balanced stance, more flexion in ankles/knees, a little hunch in the back, counter with the hips, early grip and pressure around the turn, more semi-circle turn shape, less early twist at initiation (ski never gets a good grip), soften the old outside ski and let the hips (center of mass) fall into the new turn, carry some energy from turn to turn, less of a traverse (not needed and kills energy). Some blue runs, some black runs, Peerless Trees, race course. Good (real good) progress for all !! Have a great vacation, see you next year and we’ll pick this up with maybe some mild bumps and a ride up the Imperial lift to top of Peak 8.
