Fun little line in the @dolomitisuperski park earlier this season.

What are your park goals this spring?

Learning to change edges on steeper or bumpy terrain can be intimidating. In previous videos we’ve covered front knee steering. Today we’re going to work on flexing to start the next turn.

On flat ground, stand with your weight on your toes. Flex, move across to your heels, and extend. Down, over, and up. Repeat this to feel the movements and the timing.

Now apply those same movements in some basic turns. Feel how you can flex to quickly initiate the turn, and then progressively extend to shape the turn.

As we move back onto steeper ungroomed terrain, focus on the timing and intensity of your flexion to initiate the turn around a bump. The faster you flex down, the quicker the turn will come around. Extend to manage pressure and shape the turn.

Explore these movement patterns in different terrain to find where they’re most effective!

Finished of 2023 with a heli drop and some great pow days in the Dolomites!

We can use the skills from our video on Ollies to style out a frontside 180!

First, make sure you have your Ollie on lock. You should also be comfortable with basic switch riding before working on 180s. Rewatch the Ollie video, and make sure you’re dialed with the movement over the tail to spring into the air. On flat terrain, warm up with a couple of ollies, popping into the air and landing flat with both feet.

1. For the 180, we’re going to add rotation from the shoulders and then hips. The timing of this movement is key! The movement begins just like an Ollie, flexing down and shifting towards the tail. However, when you begin to extend and spring off the tail, you’ll also start rotating your chest towards the board’s nose (counter clockwise for regular riders, clockwise for goofy riders). Think about bringing your rear hand to the nose of the board - when you land the 180 that will now be your front hand riding switch.

2. The moment you reach full extension you need to tighten your core (imagine getting punched in the stomach) and pull your hips back into alignment with your shoulders. You can also think about pulling your rear knee and foot around to your shoulder with your hips.

3. Just like with the Ollie, as you pop into the air, pull your knees up to bring the board further off the snow. Extend your legs to land with both feet simultaneously, flexing to absorb the landing. Really focus on maintaining a parallel relationship between your shoulders and the terrain.

4. Once you’re feeling comfortable with the timing of the pop and rotation, it’s time to take it down a gentle slope. The big difference is when you land you’ll now be sliding switch. Flex down as you land and commit to riding it out switch with equal flexion in your front and rear knees and ankles!

Experiment with your Ollie 180s by timing them off bumps, rollers, cat-tracks, and other terrain features!

Spring session with @thesnowpros Northwest Region

Spring session with @thesnowpros Northwest Region for some Ed staff training at Mt Hood. It was awesome to get together with this crew and work through proposed updates as part of the national alignment project!

Thanks @timberlinelodge for the hospitality!

The last three years have gone so fast, and yet reflecting on the 21-24 term of the @thesnowpros National Team and trying to pull out just a few highlights was a daunting task, because there are so many highlights.

Serving the PSIA-AASI membership through my second term on the team has been an honor, and I can’t wait to see where the next team leads the organization!

The Snowboard Team, @agan613 @lyndseysnowboards @stephwilkers @mountainchuck @slippery___slopes @capnr3dbeard @tmacri1 @erollsy, and of course our friends on the Alpine, Tele, Cross Country, and Adaptive Teams, our amazing sponsors, and all of the incredible staff across the regions and National office of PSIA-AASI that support lifelong learning: thank you all for so many great times!

2021-24, that’s a wrap!

It’s April, and with Rider Rally only a few weeks away, the @aasi_team is kicking off a new video challenge series.

One team member will start a sequence with a video and tag a couple of AASI educators. When you’re tagged, remix the video and add your own shot to the sequence!

Kicking it off with a white room! @slippery___slopes @corianne333 @yedi_grams Tag, you’re it!

Make a "sequence" edit using the 3 dots in the lower right corner of the reel. Add your white room to the sequence and challenge three PSIA-AASI members!!
