Sledheads

If you are attempting a downhill turn and you are in deep snow, remember as you are coming out of the turn and into the next to transfer your weight from your uphill side to the opposite side and get your center of mass over your sled. As you commit to the turn you will point your skis downhill and with your weight in the right position, and just the right amount of counter steer, the sled will dive into the snow and you will begin your linked downhill turn.

Your life is in the hands of those in your group; make sure everyone is prepared with proper gear and don't be afraid to put someone in check that is being reckless. One knucklehead could put your whole group at risk.

Check out your sled the night before you go out. No one wants to be on the hill with you when you are having to fix your sled when you could have done it the night before (you know who you are).
