TIPS & TRICKS

**************************************************************************************************

General: Fuel up.  Eat a good breakfast.  And remember to drink plenty of water.  Your body needs tons of it when you ski or ride hard.  Even though you are in a wet winter environment.

 
Quick Tip:
Direct your balance to the outside turning ski.
Why:  To create balance over both feet.
When:  Throughout the turn.
Sensation Indicator:  You should feel more pressure on the bottom of the outside foot.
Visual indicator:  The inside leg is shorter than the outside leg
Drill:    What we want is to have the shoulders level to the horizon throughout the turn.  Hold your poles out in front of you, at shoulder height with your arms straight.  If we have our poles held at shoulder height and arms held straight the poles will give you a good visual indicator if they are staying level throughout the turn.  Do this drill while skiing in a medium radius turn.
