Straight Run Hop Ski to Ski

(green terrain) Straight run on one ski. Keep the other ski off the snow and level with the terrain, and then hop to other ski. Glide for at least two ski lengths and repeat at least five times. During the transition from one ski to the next, both skis must be off the snow for a split second.

Key Performance Focus

  • Skis track straight
  • Skier can hop off one ski and land on the other in balance
  • Extension movements are forward along the path of travel
  • Upper body is quiet and stable with extension movements coming from primarily from the lower body
