Shortening up while free skiing

[steeliejunkie]

I’m still learning the course at 15 off trying to up my speed, but often end up having to free ski due to no course access near me and not always having one to drop in. Today I decided to shorten up the rope for the first time eventually working my way down to 32 off. It was so much fun and frankly I think it will help my skiing some feeling how different some of the other line lengths are. 

I mainly write this as a PSA for other beginners who feel like mixing up their training a bit. I always want to get back to the lake after skiing but the itch to go back and just free ski is stronger than ever. I hope to be on a short line in the course like many of you on this forum soon, but it certainly was fun to get a taste of it today.
