Breckenridge Ski Lesson Pictures And Some Food For Thought

Amy and Sharon – a dangerous combinattion. Great afternoon with learning to shape, steer and control the speed with direction and friction. You two are couple of live wires, much fun teaching and skiing with you. Merry Christmas!

Jenny, Randy, Donna, Amy Nancy, Eric – level 7 . Tons of bumps with less edge and more slipping and shaping. Some significant changes!

Kate, Cameron, Darcey, Katelin, Caroline, Julian, Erin, William, Francine – level 1. Sunny and warm … lots of sliding wedge turns, smiles and laughs. Good day guys!

Club: Frank, Susan,Rebecca, Peter, Joe Laurel Chong Mitzi – the level nine squad. Pivot turns, two foot shuffle, pivot slides, Rustler, Outlaw, High A, Peerless, American, Mind Shaft, upper body alignment, bump tactics, counter, shaping turns with skids. Hope you guys are worn out ’cause I am – a good day with tons of moguls.

Tons of bumps! Doug, Marcia, Kai, Donna, Ernie, Barbara, Linda, Amy, Randy. Lots of drills dealing with managing the edge, body alignment, committing to the initiation, pivot turns, skids of all shapes and sizes, showing the tattoo, using the pole touch to begin the process. Bumps on Crescendo, American, Volunteer and Peerless. What a fun day ‘guys and dolls’ – we were safe, had fun, and maybe learned something. Merry Christmas to all!

Don, Kai, Joelle, Debs, Sally, Ernie, Barbara – bumps blacks and drills. Lots of tipping, sliding, carving, hips/hands/shoulders, completing the turn, uphill arcs, inside ski turns, pivot turns, railroad tracks, bump tactics, 360s, some blues/some blacks. And the killer of the day, warm cookies at the Vista Haus 3:20PM (that may never happen again). Good laughs and fun – all are skiing well!

Great day guys, still thnking about some of your successes and those two runs down Rustler, those were worth the price of admission. Joe, Kelly and Larry: side slips on uphill an downhill skis, tipping to release,weight distribution, shape of turn, what starts the turn, inside ski release and steer (the new outside ski will always follow), upper/lower body alignment, how to use the poles, bumps (lots of them). Thank you for letting me take you out of your comfort zone to effect change. A good holiday day!
