Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Get comfortable with skiing at high speed. Practice taking the best line over jumps. Practice taking high-banked turns Practice skiing with others.

Answer: Ski cross (think motocross) is a timed skiing event with several competitors racing down a run at the same time. It is still considered a freestyle skiing event because of its liberal use of large jumps and high-banked turns. Since ski cross is a race at its core, practice skiing at high speed. Do not ever overextend yourself and exceed your own comfort levels. Begin by timing yourself on a comfortable run at your normal pace and try to start improving your time over several runs down the course. Skiing at speed is about comfort and confidence, and you will not develop either without plenty of practice. While many freestyle skiing varieties use jumps to perform tricks, ski cross is about flying through the jump efficiently and maintaining speed. This means staying low in the air and propelling yourself forward rather than up. Do not pop or jump off a ski cross jump like you would in slopestyle. Instead, crouch down and absorb the jump with your knees. By keeping your head low and knees bent, you maintain the maximum forward velocity off the lip of the jump as well as the least wind resistance through the air. Straighten out past the apex of the jump, so that you can land with the maximum balance. . Ski cross courses regularly change direction with high-banked turns. As with turning anything at a high rate of speed, the angle at which you enter the turn has the biggest effect on the outcome. By starting with a slightly outside line and diving down into the turn, you create a wider turning radius, thus leading to less deceleration. Half-pipes make great places to practice several high-banked turns. Instead of using your momentum to carry yourself off the lip of the half-pipe, simply drift up the side of the bank and use the wall to carve down and across the other side of the half-pipe. Since ski cross events always involve a field of skiers, you need to become comfortable skiing in a pack. The basic rules of skiing right of way do not change, but following them in closer quarters takes practice and mindfulness. Do not practice this by encroaching upon the space of other skiers on normal runs. Look into ski cross clubs and events where you will find others interested in ski cross with whom you can practice these techniques.

Answer: If you have a bagless vacuum, remove the canister and dump out the dirt or debris that's in it before you vacuum. Then, dump it out again after you finish vacuuming. This prevents dirt from building up inside the canister and your machine. Over time, dirt may coat the inside of the cannister. To deep-clean it, rinse the canister with water. You can use a garden hose and clean the canister outside to minimize the mess. This is especially important if you're using a stick vacuum, since it has a much smaller dust canister. If you have a canister vacuum or upright vacuum that stores the dirt and debris in a disposable bag, always check it before you vacuum. Most bags have a line on the side that indicates when to change the bag. If you wait until the bag is completely full, your vacuum won't operate as efficiently, so replace the bag when it's about 3/4 full. You might actually damage your vacuum if the bag is full and you continue to run the vacuum. If your vacuum has a foam filter, take it out and run it under cold water until the water runs clear. Then, set the filter aside to air dry completely before you put it back into the machine. It takes about 24 hours for the foam filter to dry. Your vacuum will suck up more dirt with a clean filter. Most vacuums have exhaust filters that catch tiny dirt particles to prevent them from blowing back into your home. Read your manual to find out if your vacuum has one of these HEPA filters and how often they recommend replacing it. Be sure to buy a replacement that matches your model. Some instruction manuals might direct you to shake or tap dirt out of disposable filters in between replacements.

Answer: Document every time your coworker flirts with you. Try to be as detailed as possible. Include the date, time, and exactly what happened. Make a note of any other coworkers that witnessed the behavior. If you plan to report your coworker, you will need specific examples. Your documentation will also help any investigation that takes place. Let your boss know that your coworker has been making you feel uncomfortable. Present your documentation and stick to the facts only. Let your boss know that you have spoken to your coworker, but things have not gotten any better. Ask your boss what is the best way the handle the situation. When you speak to your boss, emphasize that you want to maintain a positive work environment for everyone. If the coworker has a close relationship to your boss, check your company policies to see who else you can speak to about your situation. If your coworker doesn't respond to your verbal or behavior cues, speak with someone in your HR department. You do not have to file an official complaint immediately. Go to HR and ask for some informal advice on how to handle your situation. You may say, "I don't think this is harassment, but my coworker keeps doing ___ , and it bothers me. How should I handle this situation?" If you want to file an official complaint, ask for details about the process. You want to be clear about your options before you move forward. You will probably still have to work with the coworker, so be sure you really want to go this route. Be sure to document any interactions you have with the HR department. If your coworker, boss, or HR refuses to address the issue, consult a lawyer about your next steps. Find an attorney that specializes in employment law. Take all of your documentation that you have collected throughout the process. An employment attorney can help you navigate the system at your job and let you know what your options are in the legal system. Ask your lawyer if you are able to claim sexual harassment. You may be able to file a federal discrimination complaint or sue your employer.
