@unksskis Thank you for your comment! How about major maintenance? Do they do major maintenance once end of the season??

Hey Ballers! This is not about slalom topic but I need your help for our project! Let me introduce our Cable Park Project briefly. With some members from JWWF, we began the project of " Build the first Cable Park in Tokyo area". Our goal is to build a Full size(5 mast or about 600m~700m long) Cable Park where people can have fun on the water, new experience and have a good with friends/family. And make a good business sense. We hope that our cable park will be a new attractive spot for not only local people and tourists who come to Tokyo and also a place for education for kids. Our project has just started so we are researching about Cable Parks in other countries. How big the lakes are, what kind of facilities they have and how they operate the cable park etc... So If you guys know anything about the Cable Park( especially about operating the park), PLEASE tell me!! Right now I want to know, ・how many staffs(minimum) needed to operate the full size cable park and 2 mast cable for beginner. ・ How often does cable system need a maintenance? If you know other things that I need to know , please comment below? Anything would be appreciated!

@Bruce_Butterfield Still need to be more horizontal ! And not 50:50 weight . 100:0 on my front foot..? Ok I will try !!! Thank you!

This is before

This is after I think this is better COM position than before.

Big cold front hit our area and had so much snow so I only got to ski one set. Still struggling with keep the back arm elbow close to the body after the wake so my shoulders aren’t level. But I immediately felt the difference by doing “face down course” on my gates. My center of mass was better position than better. I just keep doing these during winter.

Hope this helps

@Bruce_Butterfield Got it!! Thank you!!

@Bruce_Butterfield Jay Bennett told me to use mid loop. Which do you think its better to slow the boat down to 34mph and do lots of 32s or use mid loop(34off) at 36mph?

@ForrestGump Lowest temp will be below 28F rest of this week. My site is a Dam so no ice all winter. Let's see what happens when I ski in such a cold temp.... I'm kinda excited though hahaha

@Bruce_Butterfield It was you who wrote this article here! https://www.skiall6.com/articles/bruce-butterfield/staying-open That's why I recognize your name somehow! Now I understand so much better!! I was misunderstanding the term of " open shoulder at the turn" and " Always face downcourse" means. It's same thing. I was wondering how should I do that " always face downcourse " and " open shoulder at the turn" " face to the downcourse " meant Face to the boat during cut, and then open to the outside of the course at the buoys. like 2 separated thing. But now with Figure 1 "Ideal skier path with shoulders always facing downcourse" It got my head so clear! When you turn , where do you look? If I'm turning buoy 2(my onside turn), I look at 4,6 buoy? the boat? or next buoy?

@scoke Yes. you are right. I'm Pull but kinda lean guy. When the line gets shorter, i can't get wide enough and cut in a strong position. I will try stretch my arms on purpose and ski more efficient. With arms streatching, my upper body should be face to the boat at the wake ? or arms stretching but try to face around next buoy? @thager Narrow gate is all time problem. I will try go wider and keep that width with outside edge! @ReallyGottaSki Thank you for your sharp observation! Hips are bend, behind, giving the handle to the boat is my weakness. I will try hard to stand tall everywhere and stay close to the handle even after the wake! @Bruce_Butterfield Stand tall! It's easy to say and try to do stand tall in the course. What is your mind or head when you try to stand tall in the course? Hips over your front foot? Stretching both legs ? I want to know what's in their mind when told to stand tall. @6balls Thank you ! I always worry about my onside. Will keep trying head up, inside shoulder higher! @RGilmore Two hands on the handle londer for get winder and tight line! I came up with the Cory Pickos's slalom. His slalom is like alomost two handed slalom. I will try hold the hand with two hands as long as possible and release much less time to get a tight line!! THANK YOU FOR MANY ADVICES !!! My site is always open during winter so I'll get ski as many as possible and try those key tips you guys told me! 1 Straight my arm with hips up. Ski efficiently. 2 two hands on the handle longer for tight line. I'll post some videos next week!

I’m posting some full pass videoed 32off/36

Hey Ballers! I need some help! Here is a video of me shoulder/elbow drop on my onside turn. It happens when the line gets shorter. I'm 28,32 and 2 at 35 guy normally. I still can run but I really need to fix this my habit to run 35. TW told me to stay open to the boat and that helped me to keep my shoulder level. I need to keep doing it though. I would like to know how you guys think about my skiing and how you guys try to fix ! I coach many collegiate skiers so I wanna learn how you coach for skiers like me. Any advices appreciated! Thank you ! Cheers !

@JAS https://finwhispering.com/product/whisperfin-pro/ The details are here on this page
