Jerry of the Week

ˈdʒɛri – Individual who sends life against the grain no matter the consequences

Our giant slalom was not that “giant”, but fun nonetheless. The distance between the gates was around 20m with one change of rhythm (“banana gate”). The banana gate was required to follow the course on the other side of the hill (long traverse) with respect to the maximum gate distance (~20m).

Today I learned how to ski switch with parallel turns. I learned it from “the pro”.

It's a lot of fun. Just be careful not to crash into something or with someone 🤕

I'm not a racer, obviously 😅 I really enjoyed the first fresh snow from last night after a long time without any snowfall 🌨

That's me beginning of 2023: 🎬 http://e.pc.cd/tTtotalK

We made some footage of my colleagues as well which was very helpful to compare our different styles (and mistakes 🤪).

This is what it should look like: 🎬 https://www.snowsports.ch/startseite/ausbildung/ausbildungskurse/aspirant

I made some notes below, so I can work on these issues. Really looking forward to the training camp 💪 next week to improve these points.

Can you find out which video features which technique?

These are your basics:

This is where I'm at today:

Observe, evaluate, advise:

  • Forget the diagonal traversals, make slow turns, turn after turn
  • Make the inner ski slide on the snow as well

Ready for the next training course in January and excited what's to come next year 📈
