Laura – Arkansas & Paris (an interesting combination of abodes). Cloudy all day, some wind, amazing flat light by 2:30pm, like skiing IFR. Focus: get off the hard downhill edge and stay balanced: body alignment, no lazy hands and arms, get ready for the pole touch, hip rotation and translation (crosses the feet at initiation triggered by the pole touch … interesting how all that ties together), hops, more flexion in ankle & knees (Laura, this is your biggest challenge), stork turns, side slips, bigger radius turns, shaping/carving, finishing the turn, rounder turns with less ‘riding the edge’ and more skidding, where to turn on mogul, how to turn on mogul, how not to turn on mogul, staying open to the outside of the turn with hip/shoulders. Thanks for all the food talk, you will learn to be quite an accomplished skier long before I will ever try octopus.
