Balanced, rhythmical turns with no traverse, open stance, short, medium and/or long radius. If used, pole use is timed with the turn radius, pole touch with weight transfer and edge change; skis remain parallel.
Key Performance Focus
- Skis maintain a parallel attitude
- Flexion and extension movements regulate pressure
- Upper body moves in-to and out-of a subtle counter-rotated relationship
- Upper body is quiet and stable with turning movements originating in the feet and legs
