Practicing for Saturday 6/17/23 Skate to Ski Clinic6/13/23 Today I had a lot of fun practicing for Saturday 6/17/23 Skate to Ski Clinic. My goal is to practice everyday until the clinic. It was hard to get: out of the house and go practice… to get motivated. I had to remind myself of Chris Hoffbauer’s words: “Practice makes permanent.” I wanted to practice the fundamentals before the clinic, so I could get the most out of it.
Once I got started it was fun, warming up near a park. Then I also enjoyed following Stephen Heilfeinbeins’ Skate-to-Ski progression… I really like Activity 1 - Alternating Toes up… because each time I do it, I can go up the hill with a lot more power… it warms up my ankles so I can easily engage them.
Activity 1 - Alternating Toes up:
Lift the front wheel of one skate. As the front wheel is lifted, try to maintain an even fore/aft relationship between the skates. Hold the front wheel up for at least 2 seconds.
Tips: (1) wear thick socks so feet don’t hurt. (2) Bring a broom to sweep any small rocks from the parking lot.
Instead of doing activity 5 (I don’t have a ramp), I did short radius turns around cones- this is one of my favorite drills… as I do it, I gain speed… I love it!!
