Greg & Stephanie (South Dakota). Started out sunny, not too cold, breezy (what day is not at Breckenridge), clouds by noon, snow setting up by 2:00pm, not necessarily good snow, but good for you snow. At transition coming forward and lateral (NOT up), tipping from the ankles and knees to bring the hips over the skis and skis onto new edges THEN steer with leg rotation, can’t get too much shin pressure, more flexion in the knees and ankles to facilitate leg rotation, completing the turn (sometimes up hill), more skid and less edge (the mountain provides plenty of edge), no sitting at end of turn to pressure the tails (this kills the turn at the 3/4 point), pivot turns on a berm, lead with new inside ski, keep both skis on the snow and pressured – that would be grip, pole plant to initiate – bring thighs and hips over skis, CM always inside the turn, get feet/skis away from hips as far as possible.
