If you're still having trouble keeping the skis parallel throughout the whole turn, you
-
may be doing something that I call a two-step, I'm not talking about pushing into a wide
-
snowplough, making the turn, and then letting the skis come parallel at the very end, it's
-
just a very quick one two. So the skis aren't actually changing edges together and staying
-
parallel all the way through, one two. Let me show you what I'm talking about.
-
If you have a watch down here, I'm doing a very quick one two. The skis aren't turning
-
together, one two. And it's something that even good, some good skiers do, and it's more
-
of a habit than something you need to do.
-
As you saw there, there was just a very quick one two. And that's actually because what
-
you are doing, and it's more of a habit than anything, is pushing off that lower ski, turning
-
the uphill ski to initiate the turn, and then in some cases having to actually lift the
-
other ski. What we want to replace that with, and think about the clutch accelerator that
-
we've already looked at, instead of pushing off that lower leg, feeling the weight gently
-
coming onto it and even letting the knee roll down the hill slightly. Now you can see even
-
standing here, as I do that, the skis are going to want to slide into that next turn
-
nice and smooth. So get away from this idea of pushing off to start the turn.
-
Avoid the temptation to push off the lower ski, gently let the weight come onto the top
-
ski, and let the skis stay parallel. Don't rush the turn.
-
Like most bad habits, it will probably pop up when the slope gets slightly steeper or
-
you're starting to get tired. Get it dialled on the easier slops and it will start to become
-
very natural. Remember, practice makes permanent!
