skis to blades
Started by User in Ski Technique, 8 Replies
Hello, Id be interested if anyone has any experience, on changing from skis to blades. I have used blades and found them great fun and really so much easier than normal skis. However not being the perfect skier felt it was important to continue with skis as well. So a bit of both was order of the day. year before last did 3 days on blades in Italy , Best ski hol I ever had. Last year in Andora, back on Skis . Really struggling on the turns specially the turn right, ie lift the left one. As a result er broke me leg. Dohhhhhhhh 6 months in cast , still have swollen ankle now. Does using blades spoil the ski-ing technique, does it matter, should i stay on blades.Any opinions , experience, anyone. back to kircdorf in march, hoping the snow stays good, will i be brave eneough to get off the blue.
