Are there any other skiers in Canada who have found that their background in figure skating has positively impacted their skiing abilities? I began figure skating around the age of 9 and, despite having to cut back during my final years of high school, I have recently started incorporating it back into my life for fun. While the figure skating scene in Australia is limited, I believe that figure skating provides a solid foundation for skiing, particularly in terms of edge control and overall body awareness. It has certainly enhanced my skiing skills. I would love to connect with fellow Canadians who share a similar experience or appreciation for both figure skating and skiing.

I have only ice skated once or twice in my life, but I noticed that my stepdaughter picked up skiing very quickly and she's a solid ice skater. She really moves along the flats very well! Sounds like a perfect background for skiing. And you'll love the freestyle stuff too (I know I do).

Ah, the flats! At my home mountain there's an annoyingly big flat area that we often have to get across in order to access the opposite slopes of the mountain - the skating does come in handy!

Haha you're making me very impatient to get out there and try out some freestyle moves

How did you start out in freestyle - lessons, or just experimenting on your own?

Hello Lisawalton,

Sorry to interrupt, however, can you please clarify why you have opened this thread on the Bucharest forum ?

Are you looking for Canadian skiers here in Romania ?

Regards

Bhavna

Why limit the nationalities to Canadians? Lots of people ski and/or skate from many origins that may be living in Romania....
