    Skier dies at Taos Ski Valley

    The only reason that cat track might have been "scary" would be because it was crowded with people zooming along it in close proximity to each other, passing close and fast beside slower skiers. The new wide trail where the crash happened probably redirects the crowds away from the narrower...

    Skier dies at Taos Ski Valley

    From what I remember of this trail, it's a green but it still would be somewhat steep for wobbly skiers. If the skier is making inconsistent turns, either in a wedge or making wedge christies, if she doesn't know how to complete those turns, and is unable to stop by turning uphill, then there...

    What is the best way to improve, when you can only ski 1 or 2 days a year.

    If you are heading across the slope doing that exercise I recommended, you will not be making any turns. You will be coasting across in a traverse. There's an uphill and a downhill ski all the way across the slope. When you get to the edge of the slope, come to a stop, turn around, go...

    Boots/injury/ frustration help

    Your boots are showing all the signs that they are too big for your feet. There is too much room above your foot. This is an issue of "volume." Boots come in low volume so because of the air space above your foot you may need a low volume boot. There are also signs that your "bootfitter" is...

    What is the best way to improve, when you can only ski 1 or 2 days a year.

    Here's a very good diagnostic exercise. Doing it will tell you if you are in the back seat. --Get yourself on a low pitch slope that is not crowded. The bunny slope is ok for this. So is a green slope. --Head across the slope. Look uphill to make sure no one is uphill of you getting ready to...

    This Deb Armstrong Video Transformed my Skiing!

    Amen, sister. When dealing with issues in my own skiing, I've always wished it was the gear because that's less emotionally taxing to deal with. But I always fear thinking it's the gear is a defensive choice. Such an attitude, if inaccurate, will keep me from finding the issue in my skiing...

    This Deb Armstrong Video Transformed my Skiing!

    ....More from that yoga site I linked above. Here's an exercise to work on your pelvis' range of motion re: opening the hip. Note that the belly button (aka pelvis) faces a different direction than the foot supporting it. Pelvis faces out to the side. It is "rotated laterally." This is "hip...

    This Deb Armstrong Video Transformed my Skiing!

    The way "open hips" has been used in ski instruction (as I've encountered it) refers to having your belly button point towards the outside ski's tip (essentially the outside of the turn). That would be having the belly button point towards the left ski tip in a right turn. This is definitely...

    Several people have mentioned being uncertain what hips "open" means. "Open" hips means the pelvis is facing the outside of the turn.
