Ski Tips from the Mahre Brothers

Taking a ski lesson is often the quickest way to improve your skiing. Unfortunately, when you sign up for ski instruction, unless you know your instructor's preferences, you could be taught two, three, or four different ways of skiing. Over the past twenty years, Mahre Training Centers have used the same simple basic fundamentals to teach people to ski with less effort and more enjoyment.

There are three basic fundamentals to proper skiing and they all deal with balance. Fore/Aft, Lateral, and Vertical balance. By skiing at a slower pace and concentrating on feelings and sensations, along with proper technique you will improve your skiing. Also, keep in mind that we as individuals all have different body builds and physical traits. In theory, we should all ski technically the same, but all look different while we ski. Here are four easy tips to help you improve your skiing.
