Canadian Mountain Holidays, the world's largest Heli-Skiing operator and Erich Unterberger, IFMGA Guide and Manager of Guiding Operations at CMH commented:
'Ski Pole Position is a great tool to get people focused on their core. We will use Ski Pole Position on our Powder Performance Program throughout this winter to ensure our guests can activate and focus on the essential elements that are required for skiing in powder snow. We will start using it in training with all our instructors and guides in late November and roll it out in full from December onwards.'
CMH have proved that using a tool like Ski Pole Position can help increase the enjoyment levels of recreational skiers that form the largest part of their program. But another group of skiers that are discovering the huge benefits Ski Pole Position can bring to their performance is alpine ski racers.
Pole Positions first Racing Victory
World renowned race coach and four times Olympic trainer Helmut Spiegl from Canada has trained his racers with an optimized Pole Position program during this past season and the result has been exceptional, including FIS-Race Gold Medal and K2 Provincial and CanAm West Gold Medal wins.
Helmut's enthusiasm for Pole Position is clear,
'I used the straps from day one of receiving them and achieved great results when positioning the athletes on their skis in a very balanced way and progressing their carving ability and speed maintenance through the turns. Alongside the additional technical work with the straps we've achieved some good race results including a first time ever FIS victory for one of our female racers.'
