Baqueira 2005

corrida

And I'm back! One week of pure speed, with great snow. The only poor day was monday, with freezing temperatures (-17ºC !!!). The photo above is mine, from the race day. Nice posture, with minor errors in ski blade positioning (the knees should be more inset, and I drag the right foot behind in an attempt in style)

I'll post pictures soon.

2 - I‘d need a much much more inclined slope to look like the picture in Alberto Tomba‘s frontpage: bent knees, hands almost touching the ground, ski top blades firmly cutting the snow.

Even then, given that I don‘t place the ski top blade as firmly as good skiers, I‘d probably slide sideways, lifting lots of snow powder. It‘s a great photo effect anyway! :-)

It‘s the next step. This last week was all about flexing during turns and extending before turns. It‘ll mean I can finally ski forwards and not sideways :-P (Comment this)
