Aug 9 Saas Fee Camp Day 8 on Snow




Today we skied GS on the Glacier. Snow was firm and perfect for training. The sun was shinning and the kids were psyched to be skiing GS. We were working two different lanes with similar training. Both had GS panels with a brush to help athletes establish where to begin the turn (ABOVE THE GATE). Pitches were both moderate and athlete's were able to train a turner first course and a reset of a little more distance. We wanted to see who was able to make adjustments and correct mistakes in line. Summer skiing is the best time to change your skiing technique, and athletes were working hard to do so. Here are some action shots from today!! ENJOY:)
Tomorrow we have our last training day on the hill. We will end with a GS session on a more undulating piste and ski as one big group. Then we will begin travel waxing and packing in preparation for our departure Saturday.
