After many different exercises and skiing techniques including touching the boot of our outside ski with every turn, we are finally skiing on the edges if our skis! Aka carving.
While training for our level one we take simple exercises for beginners, such as skiing in big circles on flat terrain while touching our toes and transfer them to steeper terrain with a harder exercise such as skiing straight then suddenly sliding sideways waiting until you catch an edge and ski across the mountain. (Easier in real life then to explain)
After watching video footage on steeper, bumpier terrain, we could all see a vast improvement in our skiing and although we’re not perfect, we’re much better than we were in our video footage from week 1 on flat terrain!
Happy smiles all round and looking forward to seeing more improvement on the slopes today!
