confidence at speed

Hi,

I've done two seasons, without much skiing and yet made a lot of progress. In a big part it was that the few hours I wasn't helping my kids I had decent one on one private lessons.

I had a major breakthrough in the final week of last season skiing powder for the first time, and one of the key things was my instructor recognising the fear I couldn't see. At the beginning of every run, I have a routine that includes recognising the fear and going for it anyway.

This season started for me last weekend, and that routine kept my mind in the right place, and me on my feet. The confidence builds naturally now as I'm not struggling, and my speed increases with my technique.

So plus one for instruction, but she has to find the right teacher for her learning style.

Thank you. Yes, many replies seem to suggest one on one instruction. Could be the way to go.

Where are you planning on going Huwcyn?

We've been going to Seefeld in Austria now for about three seasons. It's during February half-term though!! :( The facilities there suit us.

Just make sure the instructor knows what you want to achieve. There are loads of excercies to build confidence.
