if you're interested for on piste adventure as well, then do the sella circuit. Look this link: http://www.val-gardena.net/winter/eng/sellaronda.htm
Have fun. This round can be skied by good skiers, as it's rather intensive skiing, due too to length of the circuit. regards, Instructor |

Hello,
Despite the fact that i don't have you seen skiing, and only based upon your description, i have following advise. It is realy a matter of pressure on the sidecut of a ski. Normally at the end of your turn you could reduce the combined force of forward pressure and lateral kneeforce directed to the top of the mountainside. Not only the forces on your knees must be correct but also the position of your hips and thighs. Try to maintain them as still as possible. Do not sweep your hips thru the turn. A major frequent fault is also rotating the shoulders towards top mountainside. Via your back degree any rotation of shoulders or even at level of hips will be translated in a force modification at your knees. Any changing factor will be transmitted via your knees and boots onto the ski's. So, i'll hope this will get you closer to non-slipping turns. ;) |

Choosing a mogul technique is depending on the way you wanna attack the slope. A good prepared slope will give you a 3 way- standard line. A. The way from top to top and so over and over the moguls. B. The way of 1 over the top, one over the flankside C- The way from side to side.
The last one is certainly most recommended for beginners in mogul skiing. Placing your upper body right in the middle above the feet is your aim. Like this a stiff back and flexible knee operation, will result in attempting to maintain your center of gravity between your feets. Displacing your upper body to far a-side (lateraly) will cause inbalance, and will cause to much force on the upper ski. Mogul skiing is a matter of playing with energie, and balance. One "not to forgotten rule" : always keep your face and chest stable directed to the bottom of the slope. Greetz, :) <span class='smallblacktext'>[ Edited Thu Nov 03 2005, 03:45PM ]</span> |
