Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

hedley, The days each have the same format which allows for students who are just doing one day. However, there's a number of students that attend all of the sessions so there is some progression for them. Warren will usually split them into a seperate group if required. Obviously, the more you do the better.

Please let me know how it goes, but if it is painful you better not tell me as Im going to MK on Thursday Shocked
At least the MK slope is nothing like Mineral Basin with the deep powder Laughing rolling eyes
I may try and do another session the following Thursday if I can.
I will bring out Epic DVD's for both you and spyderjon, to PSB

Anybody else doing the MK with Warren Smith this Thursday (5th)?

Had a great session with Warren today ending up with skiing on one ski which was a new thrill (Shocked) for me. Going down on one ski wasn't too bad but had a couple of hairy moments going back up the poma.

Note for anyone attending Warren's Castleford classes on the 3rd, 9th & 10th October
The class was scheduled to be 2-5pm but just before the start of today's session Xscape told him that they're now shutting the slope for grooming from 4-5pm. Therefore you'll have an hours break tomorrow for a drink & a chat etc & then resume at 5 for at least another hour. You'll probably finish at about 6.15-6.30pm.

If you're going to the MK classes & are pushed for time it's worth checking with them incase they're doing the same.

Also had a lesson with warren today at castleford enjoyed it very much,and nice to meet you (spyderjon) snowHead .I was in a group of 3 warren miller first timers.the lesson was excellent and seemed to be built on the principle of deconstructing your current A FRAME stance and by using a series of drills and exercises gradually rebuilding your technique to a more balanced uniform hips through knees to skis stance ,gradually using your thighs to steer your skis and concentrating on ankle flex all the while.
It was a lot to think about especially when you consider yourself a reasonable but relatively 'OLD SCHOOL' skier in the first place ?? but what he preaches does seem to make sense and by the end of the session I did feel I had made good progress even in the limited environment of CASTLEFORD .Obviously practice makes perfect and I will have to continue the good work next monday and throughout the current season.
All those going to milton keynes have fun Very Happy

Linds when are you going to Verbier?

It is not all in my head. I went to the dry slope last night and promptly nearly fell on my first run. It's much harder to turn on the plastic. I'm going 20th Jan maybe see you there.

spyderjon, Hi, No I am going this Monday to Castleford, looking forward to it as we missed 2 days skiing in Saas-fee due to poor weather. Hopefully I wont have forgotten my O-frame and of course the essential ankle flex!

I am in Giltbrook
