Default A quick thanks to all

Absolutely: Content free postings never occur in a well-mannored group
such as r.s.a.


In the case of skiing technique advice, I do appreciate every word of
it. But despite my extensive web research, I've had just a few days of
actual ski time. All the info is blending into a blur of "hands
forward, weight centered, stand up and do that thing with your foot
where you feel the edge biting into the snow".


Your roller skating comments (elsewhere) are interesting - in-line
skating is a well established training tool for skiers, and particularly
racers. Racers sometime train on downhill tarmack using in-line skates,
race gates (orange cones, often,) and poles with rubber tips. Flat
(relatively flat) road skating is good stamina training using
skiing-like technique. So break out the skates to bridge over the bad
weather (aka summer.)
