"Good day, you know i'm a good skier, i don't really need classes, i just wanna ride. I am skiing for about  years already, never went to any school for it, learned myself how to ski properly..."

We shouldn't forget that our client six years of experience, actually, is around fifty days spent on snow. In addition he probably made big brakes between his ski trips, maybe even a year at a time. It is very important for us to understand that, during skiing on real snow, long range of motion and speed are reducing our technical deficiencies. We feel like we are skiing really good, but it's that speed and the great expanse that gives us freedom to move in a way that we have to and not how we know to.

Also, multiple layers of snow can reduce our technical deficiencies. You know it yourself how much harder is to ride on hard and icy track. Term "counter edge" is a real nightmare for semi skiers.

For technically sound skiers, each track is easy to ride on and all weather conditions don't pose any problem at all.

We live in such a surroundings , and social conditions, that spending seven days on snow ,annually, is a privilege.

Our mentality is such that we do not handle authority really well and it's hard for us to be open for advice of experts who are just trying to teach us:

"C'mon man, what ski school, like somebody taught us how to ski thirty years ago. We skied on planks. Now days you got all these so called experts, schools, bunch of stuff. Have to pay for everything.  I'm not buying into it.."

Exactly this kind of attitude is the reason that we are not progressing in anything we do. We are not investing in our knowledge, not paying for proper schooling or hiring right people that could actually help us.

In the end, that road is harder and more expensive.

"Oh, what's this. Why i have to do a snowplow. I wanna go to parallel right away, wanna ride on the edges... "

Regularly attending different courses and seminars we noticed that something changes every year....

One year instructors are teaching SNOWPLOW as a basic element, and then on the next seminar:

" We are throwing away SNOWPLOW. Only WEDGE ..." , and year after that: "We are going back with SNOWPLOW. We will introduce WEDGE later", and from the latest seminar, our Slovenian colleagues : "No SNOWPLOW , no WEDGE , we are teaching PARALLEL TECHNIQUE from the start..."

It is irrelevant what we teach first, if its SNOWPLOW, WEDGE or PARALLEL TECHNIQUE, the only thing that matters is that we teach our students what is a PROPER and SAFE way to ski. Enjoy skiing. Of course every school has its own system - methodology of training. We can't and don't want to say to someone: "They do it like that, others like that... "

Of course, this discussion is between professionals, official schools of skiing and not some self proclaimed instructors etc.

In the beginning , all students of SKITRACK school are taught, or reacquainted  with, SNOWPLOW.

Why SNOWPLOW ?

With SNOWPLOW we learn them how to control their speed. We teach them the easiest way how to stop. How to transfer their weight from one leg to the other. Snowplow is the best way to get the feel for putting a knee into the slope, and importance of edging the skis.....

When they learn or renew to control their speed using snowplow, we speed up the track and make a gradual transition in to the WEDGE turn. After obtaining sense of safety, rhythm and correct timing, we start teaching them about the unloading and loading weight and slowly introducing them to parallel movement.

Many years of work experience, with over 10,600 hours of training, has shown us that using such methods, our clients are quickly adapting  to the snow and are very successful and safe skiers.
