Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier by Ski Connections. Serre Chevalier ski lessons can be provided by private tuition or small groups. I have had a few lessons with Davina Charignon of Ski Connections both as a group (of 2) and an individual. Each lesson has been great fun, so for the sake of this web site I asked Davina to write a few ‘online’ lessons for me to use online. Here’s an example of one of her online Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier:

“Bends zee knees!” We have often heard this, but in fact we should think about flexing our ankles and feeling our shins in the fronts of the boots. Bending your knees makes you sit back, thus making you unbalanced and removing your shins from the fronts of the boots.

We need flexed ankles to allow us to play around with our edges.  When our knees are pushed forward, our shins stay in contact with the tongues of our boots. We can therefore increase and equally decrease the amount of edge we wish to use, easily rolling our knees from side to side.   This is essential to being a better and more skilful skier. Flexing our ankles gives us slightly flexed legs, but also allows us to keep our hips roughly over the centre of our feet. (Unlike if you bend your knees and crouch as if you where sitting on the toilet, which places strain on our legs). Flexed limbs are also stronger for all rotational movements which are useful for skiers. When you want to open a jam jar would you do it with a straight or flexed arm.

Ski lessons in Serre Chevalier by Davina Charignon and the Ski Connections team are easily bookable online or by phone.
