Ski Diva Extraordinaire
Sort of like Dawning Chorus, but this is a place for you to post your "ahah!" moment from skiing today.
I had a revelation this morning. My first run down a few inches of freshies over crusty groomer, I was getting thrown all over the place. On the second run, I wanted to do better. I realized that I'd been staring at the snow right in front of my feet, trying to prepare for every little change of texture or shape. It wasn't working. I decided to trust my skis and look ahead down the slope instead. Instant transformation. The snow was exactly the same, but it didn't throw me around anymore. I was in control.
Lesson: look ahead. Really.
What's your revelation?
