Nice day, good snow, temp just right for comfort but yet keep the snow cold. Kevin (Ft. Collins), Julia (Ft.

How to get out of the wedge – write the same thing every night, that’s because we teach the wedge (as does the rest of the world) and then spend years trying to take it away. The hard wedge christy turn to high edge trying to control speed by riding the edge across the hill – guess we have all been there. Softer edges, bigger radius turns, let the skis slide, slight shape up hill to slow down, use friction, balance on both feet, tipping the inside ski to aid matching, use the traverse to practice parallel, try to ‘go’ not ‘stop’, use some rhythm to link turns, a more narrow corridor, steer (rotate) both feet together. Keep your mask above the nose (I personally was called out twice today for a violation, can’t wait for the ‘mask’ era to go away).
