- Each year on TV here they show these 3 minute skiing instruction spots during
- the 6 o'clock news. They have different instructors, all well known. Last
- year a guy, whose name I've forgotten, gave a short spot on staying in
- control in the bumps. Bascially, he said to do what you have learned.
- When you begin to feel out of control turn uphill or at least get out of the
- valley and onto a bump. He suggested when beginning to learn skiing the
- bumps do three and then turn out.

- My sister and son are both experts and they agree with this technique. I am
- looking forward to trying it. Due to an injury in 90-91 and business in
- 91-92 I have only skied once in two years.
