Staturday Feb. 21, 2015 @ MSLM 4th MM lesson Instructor Ken, Mike

After separated into 2 group, I followed Ken.  Ken skied very well, flexible, simple and easy.  I can feel he made a lot effort to show us some tips on mogules.  He also observed our drill very detail and told us where we can improve.

He pointed out I bent my body forward instead bent my legs. It has been for a while I could not get right feeling I could ski in last year.  Because I bent wrong joints I could not get better mobility, which I have been pretty good last year.

He taught us 2 improtant drills in today's lesson

1) grip on back side (down hill side) of mogule.  I was not really sure what grip means.  I looks like bent anchore so that knee can turn to uphill, like carving.  compared with slid, it is more firm

2) re-cernted on top of mogule, hop, move body forward, which can be done by trying lift pants at hip on top of mogule.

 

The mogules @ MSLM was really light green without icy so I could countinuous ski from top to bottom.  I practiced many runs in the afternoon.  I felt using more energy turn on top of mogule, sometimes I tried to turn below top of them. 

 

It was part night.  I forget how I wasted the 3 hours last year, I even repeated it again this year.  The only reason I decided to take bus was I used a voucher so I don't need to pay additional $10 but 3 hours I wasted cost more than $10.  I could do something during the boring 3 hours, but my iPhone run out battery and I forget brought a power bank.  

The anual party day, we ran race together with NTSC, my time was about 55" in middle of STEP 6-7 female category.  Well I never practice racing and I weared old narrow skis for mogule lesson. What can I expect?
