The following article is something that coach Richard Breese posted a few years ago about the use of ceramics for the dry slope races. A few bold statements but hopefully gives people a bit more background to the use of ceramics and the over reliance on it rather than focusing on good technique, hopefully useful for parents as well as racers.

If you are on Facebook have a look at the Vail U12 page some interesting posts about the team otherwise their main website is this one www.skiclubvail.org. Again on Facebook one of the interesting videos they have on there with Mikaela Shriffrin about Slalom and GS.
