What do the Denali Guys Think Are the Best Practice Methodologies?

This thread really shows why skiing is a very difficult to break down and work on. Everything flows from one aspect to another and the intensity varies as the rope shortens.

 

I've been shooting a lot more than skiing of late and am really enjoying it. One of the reasons is the ability to work on one specific skill in isolation, then add it back in to the overall picture. (i.e. shooting into/out of a position, then incorporating that into a full stage) In skiing your edge change is dependent on your body position behind the boat and will influence your turn after the fact. Then you have to alter this for your on/off side lean into the edge change going the opposite way.

 

In a way skiing is very simple, but really hard to break down and work in the way other sports are....
