As my friend and ski buddy David S. puts it: "the essential secret in skiing is to stay centered and quiet,” and all goes well. As I stated it previously, skiing is 90% mental and with a sound technique is mostly a matter of letting the skis do the job, have enough muscular strength to resist the downhill pressure, be concentrated without being stiff and stay right in the middle of the skis (i.e. “centered”.) Of course, all of that is easier said than done, but when we keep it simple, don’t gild the lily, and don’t panic it works wonderfully. Try it… in 2008!
