Todd, thank you SO MUCH for your advice!! I so appreciate your speedy and comprehensive response. I put your advice into practice first thing this morning, and after about a week of near-daily tries and countless wipeouts, I successfully stayed up on one ski! I am so proud and so grateful.

I really enjoyed your description of how to find the back binding once I drop my ski. That helped minimize my falls, and knowing that it could feel a little wobbly at first gave me the confidence to hang on once both feet were in. After just a few minutes of skiing slalom, I started to feel how it could become more stable.

And as you recommended, I made sure to smile the entire time. It was a great reminder of how lucky I was to be out there, and helped me relax enough to pull it off! I don’t think I’ll ever forget my first few minutes of slalom skiing. What a joy. Thank you so much!!!!

You’re making a great start already with the mindset that you’re just going to ski on one foot for a little while. That will help you to not rush, which is what most people get wrong.

In terms of posture, I’ve got some ideas for you but it’s probably a bit long for this comment field. So if you don’t mind I’ll send you an email instead. Keep an eye on your inbox!

Cheers,

Todd
