Breckenridge Ski Lesson Pictures And Some Food For Thought

Bumps, steeps – lots of flex and extend. A record for me on number of runs down Horseshoe in one afternoon. Both skis planted, upper torso stable, progressive extension – terrific progress!

You English blokes are a boat load of fun. Thank you for two grand days!

Goals: powder, powder and both skis working together. 6 inches of new heavey stuff … powder???, well maybe could be called that. A very good day to stay ‘grounded’ with both feet. This afternoon on Peak 10 most productive. Thank you for the positive changes – I as happy as you.

Level 7: Goals: more comfort, less anxious, early release, steering, ski like a girl. This group is gelling! Technical focus in AM, simultaneous femur twisting to effect early edge change and steering/shaping. Best snow: King. Best bumps: that an oxymoron.

Goals: release in mogals, inside foot steering, effortless skiing and create angles. Black, blue, bumps, ski one foot, javelin turns, stay tall, scrunch low, target the apex. Windy and warm. The afternoon a definite paradox.

Level 7. Goals: less sequential at top of turn, control nerves at top of steeps, dealing with ice, committing to the turn, reduce leaning, make it more effortless. So the question is: ‘Did the goals get addressed’? From the instructors standpoint, I saw good changes in all those objectives. Video was huge – the level of understanding constantly developing. A most productive day!

The ‘Babes’ … plus Don. Powder day. Impressed with all the feet in the group … they were steering, pressuring, shaping … they were NOT lifting off the snow – thank you very much! What a difference a couple weeks have made in everyones skiing – you ‘guys’ are good students.

April tele day – we rock guys – first one probably ever. Thank you for help getting this started – hopefully will grow from here. Monomarks and modified monos for about 200 turns and the shinboo shuffle (or whatever the thing will be called). If I don’t see you (plural) before winters end – HAVE A GREAT SUMMER!
