Activity: Slalom Course

What you practice: Match turn rhythm and placement to terrain features

• Gentle hill
• Use tennis ball halves, crushed aluminum cans, pieces of colored duct tape, or chalk as markers
• Course setting: w ~ 8-12 feet; h ~ 12-15 feet (flatter hills need larger h to maintain speed)
• Start with rhythmical course; with practice, set more rhythm changes
• Lighten and tip inside foot to make each turn
• Lift free foot or keep it on the ground - try both!
