Thursday Club: Laurel, Rebecca, Olive, Mitzi, Chongie, Paola, Vicki, Deb. Wasn’t all that warm, but workable, early lunch, break in the afternoon for tea (so British, kind of getting into that, along with chocolate). Skiing up high: Whales, Boundary, Brilles, White Crown, Vertigo. Focus: alignment, how the hips align with the skis (same with shoulders, hands, knees), early edge engagement (maintain ‘grip’), tip before rotate at initiation, pole plant bringing the hips crossing over the feet, not squaring (always working on this), soften (flex) the new inside leg (long leg/short leg), flexed with both legs at transition, longer outside leg during shaping to manage pressure. Definitely some ‘good for you’ snow today … suppose that would be the case everyday!IMG_0640.jpg
