An accomplished pilot, Leroy Stotelmyer serves as a mentor to more than 100 student pilots in the United States government and several commercial aerospace corporations. In this role, Mr. Stotelmyer offers career guidance to young pilots in the areas of systems engineering and services. Outside of his work, Leroy Stotelmyer enjoys skiing whenever he has the opportunity.
If you are new to skiing, here are two tips that may help you:
1. Bend your knees. Squatting may seem to be an unnatural position, but it’s an essential one for skiing. Bending your knees gives you better control of your skis because it forces your shins to the boot’s front. It also allows you to keep your torso centered above your legs, which helps with your balance.
2. Wear polarized goggles. Though you’ll ski in cold conditions, the sun is still a major issue because its rays reflect off the snow’s surface. This bright light can lead to snow blindness as you ski, which could make you have an accident. Wear polarized goggles or eyeglasses when you ski to protect your eyes.
