Snow has hit the mountains and skiing is definitely on my mind. Each nail I strike brings me one step closer to the season.

From now until I actually put my skis on I spend time visualizing and creating sensation in my mind.

• For early season I focus on symmetry from the snow up
• Visualize your move through to angulation as progressive and equal with both sides of the body
• As I visualize this, I feel and sense that I am skiing through rectangular boxes that are at the tips of my skis
• Moving through this box provides me with power and positive direction with the arc of the ski

Give this a try, but make sure you are not driving while visualizing. Look forward to seeing you on the slopes.

Thanx, Em
