Today’s session is again focusing on my basic parallel turn, which is still some what elusive, but I am determined to crack it.

After a day off from skiing as my thighs were killing, due to the amount of snowploughing I did trying to complete run 25 at Loser. We head to a new slope, Zloam which is closer to the hotel. I have written a review of Zloam on the Ski Destinations page.

Day two, we arrive back at Loser and I pick run 25, accessed by a chair lift, I am a bit wary after seeing mishap videos on YouTube, we set off, my mate giving me guidance I enjoy the journey watching the skiers on the red runs.
