2 more skiing spots opened for September!!

My ski partner / friend / colleague / Senior Worlds King, Genadi Guralia skis on a 68" Bronco to great effect. Bronco is a continuous rocker, deep concave ski. I know Genadi and Savvas Panteli (SP, the owner and designer) have been working on a rendition of the Bronco. Also, off topic, they have some really cool trick skis

@Horton yep, it's a Syndicate model and it shreds! I have had a lot of success with skier that are in between size of skis. The classic is 65" Omega Max instead of 66" else. Skiers love that little extra width at the front while maintaining the easy turns of a shorter ski.

Also add Syndicate Omega Max

@scoke haha, I should probably edit to "Open". Flying into Milan is the best option. Depending on what airline makes sense, you can look into MXP or (with a layover in Europe somewhere) LIN. Pickup from the airport is included, as well as a train station if you are touring around Italy and want to reach our area that way. If you are interested in specifics feel free to send me a DM

Apologies, after a check with the boss @MiksLuzz, it looks like this is the situation: June 3-8: full September 9-14: three (3) spots for skiers and up to two (2) for non-skiers. I am lucky to have someone to rein in my excitement

Ballers, The dates for the 2024 Jolly Clinics are June 3-8 and September 9-14. As a reminder, these are fun weeks combining skiing in the morning with yours truly and tourism in Northern Italy in the afternoon. We have happily hosted a few ballers over the years and it has personally become a time to look forward to for my sister Michela and I. We didn't promote much this year as we were already booked up early on. However, we had a couple of unexpected cancellations, so I'm happy to share that we have some spots available: June 3-8: one (1) spot for skiers and up to two (2) for non-skiers September 9-14: three (3) spots for skiers and up to three (3) for non-skiers. The clinic is 6 days long, with four days of combined skiing and tourism, one day of only skiing, and one of only tourism. We tried this extended, 6-days formula last year and it was a major improvement overall. All in all, it's a good fun week of skiing, tourism, happy hours, and fine dinners. Feel free to ask any questions you may have below or in private :)

@RobHazelwood has Spak ever showed you his double backflip on the cable? it's a thing of BEAUTY

And yet it pulled the two most recent World Records (W Slalom, M Overall). Are you going to buy a boat that has proven to pull great skiing even if you will find it less frequently at events? Is the price difference enough to justify the purchase? Good questions… Personally, I feel that the difference in how boats ski has become so marginal that it doesn't matter as much what you train behind. Or at least not as much as it did 15 years ago. Sticking with slalom, I train regularly behind the TXi and have little thoughts about skiing behind MC or Nautique, and the same goes for other skiers and brands. I'm sure some slalomers, some jumpers, and most trickers will disagree with me… but one has to admit the differences are smaller.

It's today

Okay Ballers, After may challenges, two recordings, my injury, and a busy ski school season, I was finally able to dedicate time to the translation of the dialogue. You can find the premiere below. EP100 will premiere on Friday, December 15ht at 2:30pm EST, 11:30am PST. You can click on the little bell to get notified via your YouTube account once the premiere starts. I'll be online with dad so if anyone has questions as they watch, ask up EP100: Ski Talk with Dad

is this THE Jeff Rodgers? Evergreen idol!

@Horton come on, you know me. I actually love coaching tricks way more than slalom/jump… but yes, lots of slalom ropes end up being used in the trick event :D

rope releases, add-ons for trick ropes, making trick ropes, repairing trick handles… basically tricks is a downgrade
