Learning Tips
1. Balance is the key to improving your skiing and snowboarding skills. Develop a stance on your skis and boards that allows you to move fore/aft and side to side in balance. Keep your hips above your feet and your joints slightly flexed, this is the athletic stance we teach all of our students". Dave McGuire, CB Mountain School Pro.
2. Develop a relaxed rhythm as you make turns down the slope. Connect your turns with continuous and rhythmic movements, avoid stopping and starting between your turns. Build a rhythm into your skiing and snowboarding and look great coming down the slopes" Charlie Farnan, CB Mountain Schools.
3. "To ski or snowboard like a pro - Come and ski or snowboard with a pro" - CB Mountain Schools
