- Regarding bumps:
-
- A lot of good advice on mastering the basics and learning how to
- cut tight turns has already been given here. The final dimension
- goes beyond technique into the realm of the "groove." You really
- have to have that "dialed-in" feeling to be successful on a bump
- run, no matter what your skill level, and no matter how many times
- you've skied them. In the proper state of mind you should be able to
- carve an ess all the way down "Limelight" oblivious to the actual
- locations and sizes of the bumps, and the people on the lifts 15
- feet above you.
-
- I haven't read much here about state of mind+body. Your state of
- mind is at least as important as how you position your body,
- probably more. You might want to pick up a copy of "Inner Skiing"
- for some useful advice on this topic.

- Cheers,
