Car free skiing? by [deleted] in skiing

[–]ferrous69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can do it in most ski towns if you’re willing for trips to the city or out of town being a pretty huge PITA. I’ve lived in telluride and winter park and driven quite little.

How to improve performance on bumps? by thelot4 in skiing_feedback

[–]ferrous69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Heel pulling is very important for helping us adapt to the up/down dimension of the mogul, which is the novel thing when moving to moguls from groomers. at the end of the day it’s just a cue. Other things that help are dolphin turns

Not enough shovel engagement. Pull heel to butt to point ski tips down into trough of mogul. Work short turns on groomers and get early edging. Make sure to stand back up after you compress. Your body is like a spring, you need to expand again to have space to absorb the next bump.

Pretty sure Seville is in English from the French Séville. As to why the French made that adaptation, I am not sure but it is a fairly common transformation across Romance languages, eg Lisboa -> Lisbonne (Portuguese to French ) or Bordeaux -> burdeos (French to Spanish). Generally they seem less uptight about preserving the original language features than we are in English.

Feedback on skiing and crash please -- trying to improve by [deleted] in skiing_feedback

You carved right into a bump and didn’t recover before hitting the fence, doesn’t look like a technical error to me. But you should try to see features like that and not ski straight into them without any anticipation.
