From snow plow skiing to parallel ski turns! This is the first great goal of every beginner skier, to conquer the first 100 points of a fantastic learning path that is worth 1000!

On this descent, I wanted to link the various types of curves to show you the technical evolution of a skier from the first snowplow turns to parallel ski turns performed in a rhythmic sequence.
If you are a beginner watching ... this could be your big goal of the season! It is an immense satisfaction to become independent, to ski with a certain mastery and to travel with pleasure and safety all the easy and medium difficulty slopes, with a few detours on uniform red slopes and not steep, as long as the snow is of good quality, not icy! In the Jam Session value scale (from 0 to 1000 points) you will have conquered the first 100 points, a very important milestone, a launch pad and then begin a path of technical improvement that from 100 points will make you discover the pleasure of learning to really ski good.
After this first big stage, I recommend that you do a lot of kilometers on skis and go and look for all types of terrain and slopes, certainly without exaggerating, but don't always stay on the easy side! Dare a little, always go a little further. Even more than the technique it develops the ability to evaluate the spaces in front of you and the readiness in deciding your path. It is very important because by evaluating in advance you can better plan your action, without worry and with the pleasure of inventing and making your descent varied and fun.
