anke Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I will be there from Tuesday, 12/30 until Thursday, and would love to link up with someone who can instruct me a little. Really need help with my heel side turn, maybe looking at my setup/stance, and body positioning as I am going down the mountain. I've been on an alpine board since 2007, and feel I have bad habits due to never having had lessons. Won't be able to come to SES next year, and spent plenty of time reading the Carver's almanac, but theory only just doesn't work for me. Any info appreciated. Will be back in the Tahoe area for the rest of the season, so if anyone would ever consider giving me a full day lesson, or knows of an instructor, please speak up as well. Of course I am willing to pay, I am really serious about improving. Thank you. Edited December 29, 2014 by anke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I might be able to help you out Tuesday afternoon. I'll know for sure tomorrow. I've taught a few carving lessons. Looking like wind chill value of -25 that day, maybe that will scare some people off of the runs. Edited December 29, 2014 by Keenan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike T Posted December 30, 2014 Report Share Posted December 30, 2014 The wind chill got to me after 3.5 hours... anyway the wind was practically blowing me back uphill at times. looking forward to more normal temps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 It was cold. I offered a couple of kids some candy to lick the chairlift pole. I love cheap entertainment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Posted December 31, 2014 Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Anke, let me know if any of those stance adjustments help. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anke Posted December 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2014 Keenan, we must have posted at the same time, because somehow my previous comment just disappeared. Thanks for coming out with me and giving me some good pointers. I am installing 0 cant bindings right now, brought my old step-in Blax bindings, and will see how riding flat will make me feel. I will also take the Madd out today :-) We finished our day with an Irish coffee, walked back to our car, but it wouldn't jump. What a buzz killer at 0 Fahrenheit. It's been a while since I experienced such cold temps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
