Natalie (Indianapolis), Emily (Atlanta). 54 degrees, some clouds, snow melting fast, serious frozen stuff until about 10:30, snow up high even getting soft … heh, it’s springtime. How does a turn work: tipping before steering (rotating another word for it), open the knees slightly at initiation to come forward/tip with ankles and knees/brings hips over to other side of skis/steer with femurs rotating in hip sockets, hands on knees drill, how to ‘be strong’, flexed leg much easier to rotate than straight leg, side slips, hockey slides, hockey slide turns on black terrain. Intro to bumps: how to flex/extend like shock absorbers, turn on top of bump, pick the bump that looks the best to initiate a turn.
