Kiwi's Tip of the Week

Have you been struggling with your Nastar runs? Finishing just seconds off medal contention or having difficulty moving up to the coveted Platinum level? Wondering what else you could do besides point your skis downhill and hope for the best? Well...hang on to your ski poles. A local expert shared this insight with me last weekend.
To get the most out of your run, start your turn high above the gate. This way, as you are passing the gate, your body is already in position to make the next turn, saving valuable time when entering the next turn while allowing you to cut your current turn ever so closely to the existing gate.
Good luck!
