Ski Instruction: Alex Slalom Day 2
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/2015/07/alex-slalom-day-2.html
Friday, July 24, 2015. Alex Slalom Day 2. Today we were together on the first train and cable car up to the top of the Grand Motte. That's how to maximise the day properly. Clear skies had transformed the snow into hard ice so we would have a good surface for the first few hours at least. Mike and Alex helped me set out the course. I'd have liked to explain some things to Alex but it was enough just to keep him out of trouble when carrying the stubbies (short poles). Despite being coached by both me and ...

Ski Instruction: Tignes Clacier July 2015
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/2015/07/tignes-clacier-july-2015.html
Tuesday, July 14, 2015. Tignes Clacier July 2015. Three weeks of heatwave - plus a snowless winter - has left the Tignes glacier looking a bit worse for wear. Thank goodness the Ice Age is still here and we are about to flip out of the interglacial warm period - like tomorrow. The skiing is still good though. In the top photo there is actually a skier on the snow - bottom right of the glacier. Posted by Ski Coach. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mountain Biking - Under Les Tufs. Alex No Slalom Day 5.

Ski Instruction: Alex No Slalom Day 5
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/2015/07/alex-no-slalom-day-5.html
Monday, July 27, 2015. Alex No Slalom Day 5. Permanent page. http:/ www.skiinstruction.blogspot.fr/p/chiskiing.html ). Here is Alex Chirunning barefoot on grass for the first time. Just as in skiing the key to Chirunning is to move from the centre of the body. All movements need to start from there. Overall the aim is to allow gravity to generate all forward propulsion. This is achieved through a toppling forward action (of the centre of mass) when the foot is placed directly beneath the body. To go fast...

Ski Instruction: Cormet de Roselend - Maffetone Review
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/2015/07/cormet-de-roselend-maffetone-training.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Cormet de Roselend - Maffetone Review. Cormet de Roselend was the choice for training today. It's not a hard climb being only 19 kilometres - but it has three tough sections of 8% average. I'm going to list here a selection of notes I'm collecting regarding criticism of his book. This is mainly for reference and to be elaborated on in the future:. Error 1- Brain runs exclusively on glucose! This one he seems to get right! Error 2 - Max Heart Rate changes with age. So far Maffetone ...

Ski Instruction: Sideslip
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/p/pivoting.html
The main practical purpose of sideslipping is to get down the mountain without picking up speed. Many learners are deprived of this skill because it is generally undervalued and has become even more neglected due to the complete domination of carving skis. In ski teaching the sideslip serves specifically for developing fall-line skiing. Fall-line skiing is where the skier's body travels directly downhill and not across the hill. This would apply to bumps, steep off-piste such as couloirs and deep...The s...

Ski Instruction: ChiSkiing
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/p/chiskiing.html
ChiSkiing: The special application to skiing of the principles of good body management. Practical Definition of Chi (Article). When asked to take “large steps” in the snow in ski boots, people predictably reach far ahead with the foot and hip, slamming the heel on the ground. To avoid being too dogmatic it is also important to understand that the opposite also works - the foot being rolled onto its outside edge and the knee being allowed to point outwards - but this sort of coordination is best employed ...

Ski Instruction: Pivot
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/p/pivot.html
Outside Ski, Outside Edge Pivot Initiation. The first pivot to learn - for beginners as well as advanced skiers - is the Outside Ski - Outside Edge Pivot Initiation. The adductor muscles of the outside leg can then be used to pull the front of the ski downwards in a swing against the weight of the body but with the centre of mass being allowed to start to fall downhill at the same time. This trains the correct muscular coordination - pulling inwards towards the turn centre with the adductor muscles.

Ski Instruction: Col de Petit St Bernard
http://skiinstruction.blogspot.com/2015/07/col-de-petit-st-bernard.html
Thursday, July 16, 2015. Col de Petit St Bernard. The Col de Petit Saint Bernard is a main summer access to the Aosta Valley in Italy. All this area was once Celtic and they still recognise their Celtic origins on the Italian side. The Savoie flag on the French side of the border. Interesting resemblance to the Swiss flag and probably similar Templar origins. Local traditions still follow the Isis mythology - though they are unaware of the significance. Posted by Ski Coach.
