Improving Your Skiing Skill Level
Started by User in Ski Technique, 7 Replies
I have a two hour private lesson every time I go skiing and it has made a noticeable difference every time. So far I have used the British Ski School in both Chamonix and Les Gets (twice) - can't recommend them highly enough for the difference it has made to my skiing and confidence.

So far it seems to have been enough - my technique still leaves a lot to be desired but the results I get from the immediate feedback and the concentrated one to one session have made all the difference over the past couple of years.

Summer fitness plans

I started running in May. Got my first 5k race on 29th, my first 10k race in October and I'm building up the endurance as that lets me down when I'm skiing.

I cycle loads. I also drink lots of wine and eat too much.

On balance, I'm doing ok.... :D

Dave if he does I may have to take up snowboarding. And that would be an appalling travesty.

1. To not allow my 10 year old to say (again) "Mum you're crap. If I can do it you can" The first time he said this was just before he made me ski the Yeti in Les Gets. He was 7. Pah.
