Not only do we clear loading areas of ice and snow we work our tails off.
I had my first lift evac today at work! It was GREAT, it did take 2 hours to get 20 chairs cleared. We worked with our patrol and our maintenance guys together. So among the guy that ralphed on our moguls. Those two people that fell out of our chairs. One at 8 meters and one at 15. It was a fairly boring day at the office.

So if you see a lift person bent over a shovel. Tell them "thanks" :D

This is a very cool article and one that I can take notes on. I and my sis are planning on leaving the US behind for Austria in the summer.

:lol:

Psht no question, pack them with your suitcase. It's nuts to back them in a bag. I do agree with someone outright stealing them. Take it from someone whose traveled internationally with their ski stuff and have had their stuff trashed. I had a BRAND NEW 110$ ski bag that was destroyed by the lousy clueless and useless TSA. Stay smart and pack them. Besides they work WONDERS for packing bottles of schnaps and wine in.

Don't even get me started on overweight luggage :evil:, A lot my hard earned Euros have gone into the pockets of....well whom ever they go to. So what if I was trying to pack 16 bottles into my sack :p

Happy travels

This is actually quite amusing. More amusing then my double ear infection....*grumbles*

In short you are still using your inside ski during the turns as opposed to your outside ski. This is primarily caused by your body postion. Like me everything is rosey until you hit the steeps or you try to quick short turns.
I identified my problem on a DVD called Sofa Ski School.

I am not qualified to really give advise but exaggerate the postition of your body forward and away from the hill over your down hill ski. This will then release the weight from the uphill ski which catches or slides.

More than happy to explain further but hopefully someone more qualified than me can explain it better and help you. It is common problem that those who are very good intermediate skiers suffer from and have to over come.

Never was a teacher!!

Yes I tend to be doing the opposite of what you're describing where I'm over biasing my outside leg instead of my inside leg. I've watched the free clips from Sofa Ski School and it seemed very good, but I feel like buying it without knowing it has what I need is still a little goofy. Maybe if you can confirm it has segments dealing with overweighting the outside ski then I would purchase it. Thanks again for the reply and sorry for the confusion.

Something of the sort where your inside ski kinda trails off and does it's own thing? If that' the case I have that problem. It's remedied for me at least with more skiing. Actually thinking about picking it up and moving it closer to the other ski also helps

Good luck

Ise, you have a beautiful home (the real one, although the igloo isn't bad :) )
