TEACHING EXAMPLES

The following pages are examples of some of the teaching techniques used in our Nice Turns Program. The movies which follow illustrate typical teaching sessions with the observations made by the instructors and recommendations made for improvement of skiing efficiency. The comments and suggestions which are made are always meant to be constructive and are not an indication of "bad" skiing by the student.

The movies require the QuickTime Player which you can download here.

Early in the season. Contrast your skiing here with the pages which follow. Here you have a static position with minimal flexion/extension of your legs and a statue like upper body. You don't utilize your poles to help in the rhythm of your turns.
