Breckenridge Ski Lesson Pictures And Some Food For Thought

The St. Louis contengency! Level 1 in the morning – level 3 by days end. Gliding wedge, turning wedge, starting to match. A fun day, thanks to all.

Level 7 – ‘bumps’ the goal for all. Dukes and Crescendo bumps, Pika, Way Out, Upper 4 O’clock. Focus: feather the edge, use more the the ski bottom, hips ‘for the photographer’, let the snow be sticky, shape by leg steering. Good job guys – know these were new feelings – change is a forever work in progress.

More pictures – March 15, 2011. Tele day. Jason, if you don’t sleep good tonight, then we should have done the Windows one more time.

Beyond words, what a day. Hike the ridge (Lake Chutes), Independence Bowl, Tiger Woods, Windows (and the stream, what a hand full). Short radius turns, more skidding, some bumps. And best of all… Orange Crush. Thanks Jason and Jose, a pleasure being your friend and teacher.

Jason, Michelle, Jeanne – the Texas trio. Speed control was the mission – stop the shoulder rotation, narrow the stance, bring the hands forward were the tools. First day of the season with an outside lunch – spring time is good. The day was most fun, thank you.

A happy afternoon. Little Magic Carpet time with Payton for some straight runs and laughs – Colorado chair with Steve (dad) for some ‘hold the hands higher’, ‘keep the feet wider’ time.

Powder morning … shinboo and more shinboo …and …. Toilet Bowl

for a few tight alpine turns.

Jason – good to tele again. Wale’s Tail & Horseshoe bowl. Focus: quiet upper body and hands, core tension. Tomorrow: shinboo!
