MOVIE

I've been pretty comfortable riding with hands behind my back, but didn't really know what to do with them otherwise. On steeps I'd bend at the waist to get both hands on the snow, made me feel safer but also caused me to weaken the board's edge hold. C2C recommended that I try leading the turn with my hands, kind of race style like, and it felt great on the steeps -- no longer was I bending at the waist, and I felt a lot more secure in the turns. This movie shows a few turns I made yesterday, the day was really about Lisa telemarking!
