Yeah, a pattern a lot of our ski resorts have, some steep and a lot of runoff. However, I usually practice my stuff on slower runs. Where I usually ski has three runs where the terminal drop does not have a lot of runoff , but they have a number of green blue runs where it is easy enough to practice new tricks. One of those green and easy blues leads to my favorite back hill lodge so I have a good reason to run.

In the past I’ve tried to practice new tricks on the more challenging runs only to become intimate with the snow.

I am always practicing many many movements and I feel very comfortable skiing anything on the mountain. Hop turns, jump turn entry, skiing on one, doing turns exceptionally slow on flat terrran (really gets you to understand how you are moving through a turn). You can step it up a bit with faster moves on a bit steeper terrain – converging and diverging step turns for example really excentuate the extension of the legs in turns and how to get your body moving into a new turn. Many mountains have a steep followed by a flat section of terrain you have to go accross to get back to the chair lift. I try to use every bit of the flat terrain for drills before heading back up the chair to the steeps.
