Yelena (think I finally got the spelling right) – Duluth, MN. Ramping up the intensity, this is starting to look like ‘real skiing’! Hands on knees, getting lower in a more athletic stance/position, arms wider and lower, no more standing tall, active flex/extend with the legs, hockey stops (cant’ do these standing tall, need edge control and the ability to slide), side slips (this seems to show up in every lesson, wonder why), varying radius turns, hip rotation and inside leg flexion (got to have this for steering through the finish of the turn), introduction to pole touch.
