Are you free to ski? Free from common faults or mistakes that might be holding back your success in skiing, that is? This blog is for friends, family, and others who enjoy the sport of alpine skiing, would like to improve and share experiences. Whether or not you're just beginning to learn basic alpine skills, improving turns on different terrain, or chasing a medal in your next ski race, hopefully you'll find something.
Here is my sister-in-law, Leah Pope. She is pictured here competing in a YWCA triathlon held in Minnesota. She is one tough customer and keeps herself in excellent condition for those types of events. Yeah, training for triathlons require lots of time and commitment. Go Leah!
I try to stay active during the off-season. Surf kayaking is a sport that I've enjoyed for the past several years. Some of the same basic principles, such as core balance, center-of-gravity, etc. also apply with this sport. Storm swells from offshore tropical storms can also help too. How do you keep active during the summer?
