Hi all, looking to up my GS racing game. I'm not knowledgeable about racing really at all. I grew up a competitive mogul skier and only raced for a few weeks my senior in highschool until my season got cut short due to a crash and injury.
Fast forward to three seasons ago. After several years of recruiting I finally said yes to join a buddies ARL team at Pat's Peak. I absolutely love it. Last night was the start to our third season.
A bit about me: I'm 48 years old and this year I'm racing on Nordica Doberman GSM pistons that are 180cm with a 19.5m radius. I like them much better than the 185cm 23m used Rossi Hero Master I had been on my first two seasons. I've never scored a gold medal in ARL or NASTAR, but I'm getting close. Last night I finished 17th of 79 racers with a 20.68 handicap.
What were some tips that really helped you get to that next level? Any online training videos you felt really helped you shave time? I'm talking technique and not ski prep.
I'm attending my first Masters GS camp next Wednesday at MT. Snow. Really hoping that provides at least a couple aha moments to help me correct mistakes that are slowing me down.
Thanks!
