Hockey Stop

From a taller stance in a straight run, quickly drop to a lower, more flexed stance to aid in pivoting your skis beneath your upper body, keeping your upper body facing down the fall-line, coming to a stop quickly. Repeat each direction.

Key Performance Focus

  • Skis maintain a parallel attitude
  • Flexion and tipping movements of the lower legs regulate edge angle
  • An open stance facilitates accurate edging and directional movements
  • The inside hip tends to be move over the up hill ski
  • Upper body is quiet and stable, and faces intended direction of travel
