Ski Technique Tips
The pivot slip turnPivot slip turns are one of the most effective drills for
enhancing short turns. Short turns are the cornerstone of advanced skiing.
| 1. With a stable upper body facing down the hill rotate both
legs 180 degrees from the left to the right and back again. Continue this for
linked turns. |
 |
| 2. Groomed snow allows less resistance and ease in turning
the skis. |
 |
| 3. A pole plant is important to add rhythm and flow down the
hill. |
