Breckenridge Ski Lesson Pictures And Some Food For Thought

Rodolfo, Shirley, David, Eric, Enrico – Texas. Late start, hung up in the rental shop, gliding wedge in the morning, wedge tuns in the afternoon. David, Eric and Enrico lapping Rip’s Ride, ready for chair #5. Last day of vacation – good start on next year.

Mary – Colorado and Ohio, level 7, sunny and warm, no wind. Pole balance, inside leg steering, mogul pivots, side slips, shuffle turns, early edge engagement of inside ski, arm position, turn competition, Peak 6, a few moguls, Peaks 9 & 10, groomed blacks. Good changes Mary … your homework: side slips, virtual poles and shuffle turns. See you next year, have a great summer!

Emile – Texas. Late start but great recovery, Gliding wedge turns on Poma by noon. Hope your boyfriend and father didn’t push you beyond limits this afternoon. See you next year. Cheers.

Tracy and Maddie from Dallas. Great turn around from the morning … all’s well that ends well. Next stop – parallel turns. Jeff owes you a bottle of wine and an increase in allowance … good luck collecting on that. See you next year if not before. Most enjoyable afternoon.

Kristy – Scotland. From a wedge to skiing blues on Peak 9 in parallel fashion. Hockey stops, ‘match my turns’, leg rotation, pole balance, visual poles, less edgy, upper/lower body separation. You are off and running now Kristy, enjoy the vacation!

Rob, Michelle, Kaden, Robert – Texas Tornadoes! What a great day, Peak 6, Peak 9, Peak 7, Peak 8, pivot turns, 360s, skids and slides, trees, hockey stops, race course, which ski initiates, upper/lower body separation, what to do with hands and poles. Enjoy your vacation – a pleasure spending the day together. (Michelle, don’t lose too much sleep over pivot turns, they will come in due time).
