My best friend just converted to freeskiing. Joy to the world! here's the problem though.
the kid moved to colorado from texas his junior year of high school. In his misinformed youth, he snowboarded. EVERY YEAR he broke something. arm, wrist, and i think wrist again (silly snowboarders)
I'm a pretty decent skier myself (270 ons, cork spins up to nines, switch 5's, flat 3's and rodeos, and the like. no claim, just an indicator of ability. PS we're both 21), but I'm unsure as to how to teach him. Do i take him to terrain to improve his mountain skills first before the park? rails or jumps first?
Once he gets a basic understanding, I'll be fine, I'm just a little worried that I won't be able to teach him the basics you know?
any strategies?
plus KARMA for the help. thanks.
