Wow!  What a warm start to 2012!  People are out mtn biking like crazy, running without their shirts on and filling up the parking spots at trailheads.  There is still skiing out there.  Resorts like Snowbird and Crested Butte have quite a bit of terrain open.  In fact Snowbird has 65 runs open!  That is a lot of skiing.  Conditions like this can be a blessing in disguise for your ski technique.  Often we are so drawn by the fresh powder and the exciting terrain that we don’t take the time or put in the effort necessary to focus on specifically on our technique.  If we dedicated some of our time on the hill to doing some drills or focusing on a specific skill, we could make substantial and lasting changes in our skiing.   Rather than cruising those groomed runs aimlessly, take the feedback you’ve gotten from your NASTC coach and give your runs some focus.  Our Snowbird camp coming up will be a perfect venue to do some technically focused skiing.
