1. A ski training apparatus for use by a ski trainer to assist a ski trainee wearing a pair of skis in learning the activity of skiing, comprising:
a ski pole having a proximal end configured to be grasped by the ski trainer and a distal end opposite said proximal end, said ski pole having an elongate and linear configuration; a first guide member having a base portion coupled to an upper surface of a respective ski of the pair of skis worn by the ski trainee and a first receiver portion extending upwardly from said base portion, said first receiver portion having a generally cylindrical configuration defining a first open interior area and an open top; wherein said first receiver portion is selectively and operatively coupled to said distal end of said ski pole so that the ski trainer is selectively in control of the trainee's ski by manipulation of said ski pole when coupled to said first receiver portion of said first guide member; a second guide member includes a cylindrical configuration defining opposed open upper and lower ends and defining an open interior area; and a spring coupling said second guide member to said first guide member, said spring having a flexible configuration such that said second guide member is selectively repositionable relative to said first guide member; wherein said upper end and said interior area of said second guide member are configured to receive said distal end of said ski pole into said interior area, said second guide member being operatively coupled to said first guide member by said spring such that the ski trainer is selectively in control of the trainee's ski by manipulation of said ski pole. |
