As Romanians, we love our food. We keep our traditional cuisine close to our hearts and we take pride in the big part our food plays in our culture. However, visitors to Romania never get to see behind the closed kitchen doors where the magic of our food happens. Mama Maradin’s Traditional Romanian Cooking Class aims to share this part of Romanian culture with visitors in an intimate and enjoyable way. We invite you to experience (cooking and eating) some Romanian recipe. Also, we invite you to spend a very enjoyable time with a Romanian family, helping you to know and to understand better our life style, our culture, our traditional cuisine. We want visitors to leave with the feeling that they truly experienced Romanian and gained an insight into the Romanian way of life.

You will have a free run, in which your current level will be observed, after that we will begin to correct and introduce new elements to your technique. Carving is where the edges cut into the snow so well that the skis do not slide sideways, and travel straight along their length. Ski racers try to carve all the time, as it is the quickest way down the mountain, and conserves as much of their speed as possible. We will practice the three essential principles that define a ski turn : Initiation, Shaping and Finishing. This helps you on the groomed piste in ice conditions but also to start your adventure outside the piste, because you will be able to asses, feel and control not only your posture but also your center of gravity.
