Says Plake: “Focus on lost or forgotten ski techniques. Most beginner ballet skills are old school ski drills. Be open to everything you can possibly do on your skis. Play in the parks. Hone your skills. Develop new ones. Try stuff on skis. Ski moguls. Play games like human slalom and tilt-a-whirl. Never waste a cat track.”
