That is exactly what Harald said at the camp. Practicing on easier terrain than what you usually ski and doing drills and TURNS slower than usual shows faults that exist in the skiers technique. Momentum can disguise a lot.

It amazed me that no one in the camp went to the black terrain on their own time. It seemed everyone was working on the drills &/or skiing on easier slopes to feel their "stuff".

And you guys know that I like a little tree action. Have hit a couple too.  Fortunately in slo-mo.

Whacked my left ear by an errant branch at Winter Park the day prior to the camp. Hurt like a **** for a bit. Uh, was wearing a helmet too. Thank you helmet, for the soft ear coverage.

PS, was a pine branch and we all know pines are soft wood.
