Learning

Harbor Light Newspaper, the Newspaper of Harbor
Springs, last winter.
By Paul Glahn
H
aving lived in the shadow of two of the more
successful ski resorts in the Midwest my entire
life and trying to spend as much time outdoors
as possible, the fact that I don’t ski often comes as a
surprise to those around me.
It would be a lie if I said I have never skied, but I don’t
think a sixth grade field trip some 12 years ago really
counts.
All of that said, I decided to suck it up and schedule a
beginner ski lesson with Boyne Highlands.
I was assigned to ski instructor Daniel Gruener, who
after the lesson even admitted to me that he was worried
at first. Fortunately Gruener is a master of his trade, and
I am a quick learner (or at least that’s what I keep telling
myself).
I immediately learned the most important rule of skiing:
I was required to have a smile on my face the whole time.
Anxious to jump on the first chairlift to a double black
diamond, the lesson began with one-ski laps around the
beginner area. After a few circles Gruener was satisfied
with my progress and led the way to the next exercise.
Following his lead, I waddled my way onto a mini-con-
veyer belt which took me up the first hill I would con-
quer. While on the belt Gruener shared the second skiing
rule of the day with me: to relax.
Once at the top, the physics behind snowplowing and
leaning into turns was explained to me. As my focus
began to intensify I almost forgot about rule number one.
Fortunately my ski coach was there to remind me.
During our runs down the beginner hill I did exercises
that made me feel kind of like that guy at a sporting event
trying to start the wave. Gruener explained the impor-
tance of the exaggerated motions for beginner skiers, as
they force the whole body to lean into the turn. Later on,
We successfully boarded the lift and

After about four times down the hill, I was already feel- ment to appreciate the scenery of the

suggested we hop on the chairlift and give “Camelot” a greater Harbor Springs area as we
try. Even the pros have to start on the bunny hill, right? approached the top - a view that is

of skiing number three: enjoy the view. I took a moment
to appreciate the scenery of the greater Harbor Springs
area as we approached the top - a view that is worth the
price of admission alone.
Once at the peak of Camelot, Gruener briefly ran
through the basics again and the real down-hill skiing
began. Following his lead, we continued the fundamental
turning exercises and snowplow stops. Always keeping a
close eye on my progress, Gruener only had to remind me
a few more times of the most important rule in skiing.
We skied down Camelot a couple more times, each with
less pointers being necessary. Convinced I was ready to
graduate my first ski lesson, Gruener suggested one more
run.
Exhausted from all the smiling and relaxing that had
been going on for the last hour, I asked my Austrian
ski instructor what the best beer after a long day on the
slopes was (strictly as a journalist). Surprisingly Bud-
weiser was his answer. Who am I to argue with my ski-
ing mentor?
After a quick stop in the Slopeside Bar at the High-
lands, Gruener and I parted ways.
I spent the rest of the afternoon on the slopes of Boyne
Highlands testing my new skills and making a point to
follow the most important rule of skiing - having a good
time.
