  • Portillo: A Day In Your Life

    portillopictureperfect

    Here’s how your morning goes when you ski Portillo, Chile with us: wake up (to powder), go downstairs for stretching and huge breakfast with the best dang coffee ever and warmed milk, walk back upstairs to get your ski clothes on, downstairs to boot up (friendly boot room attendant has brilliant memory for faces so he can match 400 guests to their boots by day 2 usually), walk 10 paces outside, click into your bindings (did I mention your skis were right next to your boots at the ski check), slide over to one of the detachable quads, stand in NO LINE, just hang out talking with other adventurous skiers or national ski team members, and whoosh! — you’re lifted into the crisp air and high above the Andean cliffs and peaks.

    You shred. You laugh. You learn. You make new friends. You try new things. And that’s all before lunch…which is 4-courses long. And you get to take your boots off. It just doesn’t get any better.

    Here’s how your afternoon goes: after your 4-course/choose anything you want lunch (slippers on feet), you grab a coffee and boot back up for a full afternoon of epic lines, great snow, exploring new terrain, and skiing with fun people while you chase your expert instructor around the mountain. Lifts close at 4:30 due to the late sunlight. At 5pm you have a glorified afternoon snack called “Las Onces.” This is a Chilean tradition and includes breads, cheeses, crackers, fruit, cookies, cakes, and tea or coffee. So yummy! Next up you hit the hot tub, sauna, massage, gym, or nap zone perhaps. NASTC offers tech talks on a variety of topics including ski technique, fitness, and of course your video from the day! Then you might head to the living room to play a game of chess, down to the basketball court or indoor climbing wall, or lounge in the bar before dinner. We eat “early”…at 8:30pm! (The second seating is at 10pm)! Dinner is….divine! Another 4 courses, fine wines, unlimited deserts…you won’t want to leave – ever. After that its coffee and bed, or there’s always the bar and disco for those with endless amounts of energy!

    You in? Book now, our annual week sells out. We’ve been taking skiers to Portillo for nearly a quarter-century (since 1995), grab your spot now!
    Thanks for reading!

  • Ski Tip: Pole Usage

    The function and correct use of our poles can seem as ambiguous as a politician’s speech.  Good pole usage complements and aids upper body movements in dynamic skiing.  Missing pole plants, poorly timed pole plants or directionally inappropriate pole swings can create dysfunctional elements in your skill set.  Diverse terrain requires attention to rhythm and strong core movements that are directed down the fall line.  The pole swing is timed with an extension move at the start of th turn, this aids in directing your momentum toward the apex of the turn.  As the pole is planted it helps stabilize your body as you change from the uphill set of edges to the downhill set of edges.  The pole swing should originate from the wrist and not the elbow.  As your turn shape changes, the direction and timing of your pole swing adjusts accordingly.  When skiing steep terrain and bumps your pole swing will directed more towards the fall line rather than the apex of your turn, your pole plant will happen as you pull away from the fall line and the skis turn across the hill.  Next time you are out on the hill think about the timing and directionality of your pole swing and plant and what it does to your rhythm and stabilization of the upper body.

  • Michael Rogan & U.S Ski Team

    Looks like the U.S Women’s Ski Team has garnered a little help from PSIA.  While at their annual “Back to Basics” camp at Mammoth, U.S women’s speed Head Coach, Chip White enlisted help from PSIA National Alpine Team Captain, Michael Rogan.  Michael helped design a number of drills for the athletes to help the athletes better deal with terrain changes.  US Ski Team members, Stacey Cook, Leanne Smith, and Laurenne Ross were some of the few athletes that participated in the camp  “It’s really important to have his perspective,” added White. “He’s been with PSIA for over 15 years and captain of the Demo Team for eight of those years. The drills he created are incredible and we’ve already seen progress. Leanne Smith for example was making awesome position changes over terrain later in the camp.”
     Another outcome of the camps was a number of new warm-up routines were developed for athletes to use prior to training and races.

    The U.S Men’s Team is now at Mammoth at their own spring training camp.

  • Mammoth

    Just got back from a week down at Mammoth.  It is incredible how much snow there is over there.  Rather than walking down stairs to exit from the Gondola at the top of the mountain, you exit the building directly onto snow!  The sign that is normally 11ft plus at the top is buried except for the last two feet of it.  The skiing was incredible after it had softened up.  Thursday was the first day of skiing and a Western Regional Team training day.  The weather did not cooperate.  It was howling out, the snow never softened and it was overcast.  We spent most of the day on Chairs 10 & 2 until they closed the mountain at 3:00pm.  Friday was the first day of the PSIA-Western Division Annual Spring Convention, Although it was sunny, the temperatures never climbed high enough to soften the snow, the same was true for Saturday, though there was some good chalky snow on Dave’s, Dropout and Wipeout.  Sunday through Wednesday became progressively warmer and the overnight freeze with the daytime thaw created some really good corn snow.  Although lift access was limited we covered some terrain as everything was filled in.  Hangman’s is the easiest it had ever been.  The added bonus was being able to watch the “soon to be U.S Development Team” girls practicing and trying to earn a spot on the Dev Team.  Even though these girls were only 15 to 16 years old, they are ripping skiers and produce a good visual to hang onto.   You can stand right along side the training course and watch them go by, lap after lap.  After a great week down at Mammoth, no way are we ready to hang our skis up in the garage – we’re trying to figure out when is next time that we can get down there and do it all over again. 

  • Banzai Tour & NASTC Alpine Meadows Course

    Daron Rahlves’ Banzai Tour (sponsored by Sugar Bowl Resort) and the NASTC All Conditions/All Terrain course are both taking place at Alpine Meadows on January 23rd!  What a sweet “two for one” deal, an opportunity to get great coaching from the top instructors in the country, ski a great mountain and witness a one-of-a-kind event that incorporates the disciplines of big mountain skiing, downhill racing and skier-cross – guess that makes a “three for one” deal.   Alpine Meadows is the first stop of the Banzai Tour – which is a 4 person race through gates in off-piste terrain for a $10,000 prize purse.  The overall winner of the tour has the opportunity to win $50,000.  The legendary terrain of the Alpine Meadows’ Beaver Bowl presents a unique venue for Banzai competitors as it offers a lengthy run with lots of natural features to build a course through and make it exciting. Join us at the All Conditions/All Terrain at Alpine Meadows for three days of fun, excitement and great skiing and become inspired to push the limits of your skiing further by watching great skiers like Daron Rahlves navigate through challenging terrain pushing the boundaries of their own skiing. more>>
