Explore the Skills and Fundamentals

Explore the 3 things a ski can do:

• rotate
• edge
• bend

Explore the alpine fundamentals of skiing:

• control the relationship of the center of mass to the base of support to direct pressure along the length of the ski
• control pressure ski to ski and direct pressure toward the outside ski
• control edge angles through a combination of inclination and angulation
• control the skis rotation with leg rotation separate from the upper body
• regulate the magnitude of pressure created through ski/snow contact

Explore the body movements that create action at the skis:

• flexion and extension
• rotational movements:  upper body, whole body, leg rotation
• tipping movements of the feet, legs, knees and hips

This clinic is appropriate for all instructors interested in understanding, learning, practicing and developing the foundational movements found in skiing.
