Hello all,

Another good week of training in balmy weather this time! Both groups are soldiering on with: athletic stance, forward pressure, edging, rotation, and balance. Quiet upper body drills were performed again, including this one with hands behind our backs. It forces the skier to be in a forward pressure position and to really use their lower body to make their turns.

As we wind down the season, we will continue to practice all these various drills I have shared since early January.

It sounds like most of you have been catching some Olympic skiing action, which is great for your athletes to see skiers perform at this top level. Keep watching! However, I found this video this morning showing that even the best in the world falter and make mistakes. It all hinges on so very little…

Thanks to parents who were very patient on Saturday with drop-off and pick-up, it certainly was busy!! We had a very fun skiing morning as we pretty well had the sloped to ourselves:)
Happy Monday and see you on Wednesday,
coach Charlotte and coach Kaczor
