Breckenridge Ski Lesson Pictures And Some Food For Thought

Peter, Pat, Eric, Olive, Laurel, Ron, Roy, Ashley … powder day … level 8/9 skiing! Peak 6 and Horseshoe with a lot of laughs at lunch!

Judy, Nancy, Pam, Donna, Joelle, Debbie, Amy, Kay, Marilyn – tactics were the focus in bumps, steeps and groomed … with a bit of side attention to hips, hands, pole plants, pivots, skidding/slipping, keeping both feet on the snow. Imperial bowl, Rustler, Beyond Bowl, Oar Bucket, Tiger, Peerless, race course. Lost of miles and turns ladies – good job! Fun day! (PS. Nice photo)

Stephen, Dawn and Max. Pivot slips, hockey slide/stop, shuffle turns, 360s, inside ski turns, one ski turns…that should be enough for a few years. Oh yes, and the race course. Great morning. Thank you.

Chuck and Jill – banner day for both. Jills third day on skis (ever) and doing blues on Peak 9 with lots of parallel turns. Chuck and I up to Peak 6 working on simulaneous edge change with the new inside ski engaging early, less monster edge to allow shaping and friction to help with speed control … isn’t it amazing how much money is spent and all day long each turn is made with the intent to stop vs. the intent to go! Much accomplishment guys, big mountain is in your future!

Dawn, Stephen and Max – all mountain skiers! What a day, sunny, kinda warm, light winds … we earned this one. Working on less edge, ok to skid and shape the turns more rounded, pivots, side slips, hockey slides and stops, skiing off pisted with less big edge and more down the fall line. Max suffering with new boot issues … not fun but he is young.

Definitely in like a lion! Snow and wind but not so cold, skiing danday. John from LA/Nashville. Hop turns, hip tilt, pipe leg rotation, pole plant, simultaneous leg movements, less edge. Skiing easy blues now … nicely done.

Jill and Chuck from St. Louis – Jill’s first day on skis – amazing, what a natural. 15 minute on the Magic Carpet, 30 minutes on the Poma, an hour on chair #5, right to the Colorado lift and then bumps and trees – finsh out the day in Toilet Bowl. If only the Latuda family could learn so quickly.

Killer day eventhough the morning was a slow start – think the pivot slips put everyone in a coma – but the troops rallied and the afternoon was exploring like a bunch of kids. Nancy, Pam, Deb, Becky, Sally, Jenny, Donna, Dawn, Judy. Wayout Bowl (Peak 6), Rustler, Ore Bucket, Upper Towlet Bowl, LJ – some of the best skiing all year. Pays to have determination!!!!
