Ski Demo Team at Porters

Sunday, October 24th, 2010

The Ski Demo Team recently finished up its last camp of the season before heading off to St Anton in January.

The camp was scheduled for three days at Mt Hutt. The weather forecast before the start of the camp was looking average to say the least, and it only looked like we would get one day out of the three days on snow. We checked the report on the first morning and sure enough the mountain was closed. All was not lost however – Scotty Dagg came up with the great idea to try Porter Heights. He called up and it was open. We all piled in the truck and headed off.

Monday, June 28th, 2010

17th to 18th June 2010 saw a training camp with Coach Nils Coberger. This is a technical overview of the camp from Dave Taylor.

The Demo Team

The Demo Team along, with the Senior Examiners, trained for two days at Coronet Peak with NZ national team coach Nils Coberger.

During the two day camp Nils took us through his method of training high performance skiing.

It’s important to remember that the goal of this technique is to be as fast as possible in a race course, quite different from the goal of the majority of our guests in our ski schools around the country. But some, or all, of these principals could be used at all levels of ski improvement.

Nils has developed a six step progression that contains the six key elements that he believes are paramount for high performance skiing. Each of the steps were performed on the very flattest of green terrain to allow for the highest precision in the movements.
