Hey everybody!!!
Important info about this week’s (1 October 2008) meeting…
This begins the weekly meeting schedule – Wednesdays – 8pm – The Exchange in Rockaway – Downstairs
Special Guest Bill Thistle – boot fitter -
Bill Thistle grew up in NJ and was introduced to skiing in 1970 at Great Gorge Ski Area. Shortly after he had the good fortune to spend a ski week at Gray Rocks Resort in Canada, which along with the ski movie The Performers shown nightly at the bar, was all it took. The next season he was in Boulder Colorado then Aspen the following winter. Bill studied in the summer at the Aspen Academy of Martial Arts and began applying the principles of movement and mind body coordination learned there to skiing and racing. He became Director of Training at a boarding school in Aspen and then traveled on both the Men’s and Woman’s Pro Ski Tours as a coach and trainer. Bill now shares the technical and equipment knowledge he has gained over the years with skiers looking to improve and get all the enjoyment possible in our wonderful sport.
Bill will be available both before and after the meeting to answer questions as well as take a look at how you stand in your boot and explain how alignment adjustments may instantly improve your skiing. So it would be a good idea to bring your boots.
