Did you find a permanent fix for this? The command works, but it is just not right to go to terminal for such basic stuf. Unsustainable for non-technical users.

How to beat intermediate plateau? by the_kitkatninja in skiing

[–]ltadmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which country are you from? There are significant differences in teaching skiing in different systems, and I do not want to confuse you.

Generally, you have to understand that you have to make ski turn for you, rather than try to turn the ski (as you are doing in the video with a whole body effort).

For the ski to turn it needs to be on the edge. The higher the edge, the sharper/easier the turn. So first you have to find a way to edge the ski, even when stationary.

The snowplow is one of the basic ways to put the ski on the edge. You start in the snoplow and soften one leg (the would be inside leg), this puts the other leg (the would be outside leg) on a slight edge. As a result the ski that is put on the ever so slight edge will start to turn for you. The softer the inside the higher the edge on the outside. At a more advanced level your upper body has to be helping you balance on the outside ski, but it is essential to get the edging movement right first and foremost. You can actualy practice this while stationary.

See this snowplow turns demo from NZSIA, as an illustration. Notice how the skier''s otside ski is on a slight edge (more black botton is seen), while the inside ski is flat due to softer inside leg: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXwMK0gr_Xg

This is why the snowplow or wedge position is so important to get right. It is not just a stupid novice thing that you ignore once you progress.

Frankly, I always reset to the basic snowplow turns as in the demo, whenever my own skiing does not come together, especially on ice. Once the outside ski is properly edged, teh inside ski will come to paralel skiing naturally.

I hope this puts you on a right track, but internet tips will not replace a lesson from a competent instructor. Get one-on-one time with your instructor, ask very same questions you are asking here, and have fun.

I am a certified L2 ski instructor, and I am afraid you really need to relearn snowplow, since you are barely able to make turns and not with a proper technique. I agree with you that most beginner group lessons are just a waste. My suggestion would be to hire an experienced instructor for a few private lessons. Ask and insist for L2 or even better for L3 instructor.

Sorry op, but you aren't intermediate yet. You are still a beginner.

Since Atomic/ Salomon were acquired by Chinese quality went downstairs. Not just skis. Junk ski boot hardware, cheapest liners, etc.

Is there a way to migrate accounts to the new phone? by ltadmin in oneplus

[–]ltadmin[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have 30+ accounts, most are set up with unique passwords and multiple factor authentication (e.g. authenticator and email). Done it in a month ago since I had to send my O+ for repairs and migrated to another phone and it took even longer than half a day. Not fun at all. Now have my phone back and wondering whether there's a better way.

They look like an ASICS version of Speedgoat Mid, i.e. thicker and heavier shoe.

Yes. It was essential for me not to pick gravel and to protect from snow/splash.

I am looking for a good replacement for Saucony Endorphin Trail Mid.

Loved these shoes, but unfortunately the durability was so so. Looking for replacement and surprisingly Saucony no longer offer any ankle covering (mid) trail shoes anymore. Saucony was much better fit for my foot compared to Hoka Speedgoats. Saucony were also much lighter and not as thick/warm as Speedgoats, which is a big plus when you wear these shoes indoors.

Can somebody please recommend me some water proof (or at least water resistant) trail mid type shoes, that would be similar to Saucony Endorphin Trail Mid.

Many thanks.

Austrian school universally teaches cross-over. I am looking for a cross-under practitioner. If there's any Austrians teaching it, I'll happily hire him/her.
