Ski Season is Just Around the Corner!
Ski season is just around the corner and we are working hard to prepare for athletes and volunteers. Skiing is always just a bit easier when we are prepared and this blogsite will help you be ready for the snow when Hidden Valley opens in December.
Here is something to think about for anyone interested in tethering or outskiing. A sit down athlete often helps to control his or her turns through the position of their body. For instance a sit down skier may use a seat drop to the left or right to enhance their ability to turn efficiently.
You can get a feel for this while riding your bicycle. Simply drop one side of your seat and be aware of the effect it has on your bicycle to help you get the feel for a skiers turn. When Hidden Valley open's we will offer on the snow training for tetherers and outskiers. You will have an opportunity to ski in adaptive ski equipment helping you to become a better and more knowledgable instructor.
