Snow Skills

Build your balance on the outside ski with a soft leg.

Parallel skiers have learned to develop a turn by changing their weight from one side of their body to the other. Improve that skill by building good balance on the outside ski with a ‘soft’ outside leg. Relax your knee and ankle joints to allow your body to fully balance over the outside ski. A stiff outside leg will cause your weight to fall off your outside ski; a soft outside leg will keep your primary balance on the outside ski and help add black diamond trails to your terrain list.
