Ashley, Brennan, Chris, Devon, Areila – Philly, Canada, Bay Area. Major warm day, snow went to mush about 2:00pm, but not super mush, still ski able. Focus: getting out of the wedge (how quickly learned, how slowly unlearned): matching during the traverse, how to tip and release the new inside ski, side slips (never easy at first), arms not tucked by side of body, leg steering and how to shape, speed control with friction and direction (aka, turns), how weight distribution changes from foot to foot, forward/backward/downhill/uphill/wedge hops, flexion of ankles/knees/waist (not too much at the waist, let it equal what’s going on at the lower joints). Last run on Chair 5 – well done!
