Beginner Skier Survival Guide
Hi, my name is Janis and I’m one of Rick’s students. I started to learn to ski at 37 years of age, so I still remember what it was like to be a beginner skier. I’ll try to get together a few tips and some articles that will help new skiers by answering some of the questions they may have about learning to ski.

New stuff
Some of our students have wanted to take summaries of the DVDs to the hill. So now we are making drill cards available for the Basic Balance and Basic Edging DVDs. Laminated pocket sized cards with summary of the drill, hints, cautions and variations. One drill per side. Two per card. Take just the drills you want to work on, to the ski hill with you, in your pocket.
