Experienced Dad (75) vs newbie son (41) learning to carve
My dad and I had a joint lesson in Meribel this week, and it was super interesting how he had been taught in a way totally different to me. He learnt in 1958 aged 9 in france and has skied his whole life, I learnt last year in Tahoe and have about 2-3 weeks experience.
So he ended up learning to carve and unlearn old fashioned ingrained techniques, while I focused on control and smoother carving, but benefited from new style foundations.
Would be interesting to see what the forum thinks of both of us towards the end of our lesson? Our instructor gave us both great feedback and things to work on but more welcome!
My dad is first, me second.
