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 :-)

Some very nice skiing with a few drills thrown in ;)

Tom (instructor) had us try something like those dolphin kicks in the introduction to mogul class on the EoSB. He demonstrated beautifully down a gentle slope and we then hopped along behind looking more like hobbled bunny rabbits than dolphins. However it did make me realise the extent of the extra movement/dynamism ideally used to cope with bumps, and that I err, was nowhere near it.

Laughing I can relate to that.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Nope the word I had in mind was "dancing" or "dance"

I always think that good skiers are performing a dance with the mountain, they move in rhythm to the slope that they are skiing, almost like its their dance partner rolling eyes

OK "inner skiing" BS over for now Laughing

That's not BS, that's what we should all aspire to. Call it flow, fluidity, dancing, whatever, but that's the feeling we should be looking for. Skiing with the mountain, not battling against it.

I'd have said "flow" but then I've skimmed a couple of training manuals.

So one for the instructors - if you had a pupil who had good flow but say was self or old school taught and lacked a couple of elements of technical precision would you look to coach those in, even if in the short term it disrupted flow, or would the greater good be to leave the flow? Or does it remain a purely hypothetical question? I'm thinking of say someone who say lifts off on the inner ski tail in short turns rather than a bog seat blue run bomber.

fatbob, if it was a stylistic 'fault' which the client didn't care about then why bother with it? If it's a bigger technical issue it's likely to affect their flow, even if that only becomes significant in challenging conditions. I'd explain that to the client and let them decide if they wanted to work on it.
