Snow Skills

To improve skiing from a seeing focus, try the following:

Seeing: “Put your jacket zipper over the downhill edge of your inside ski”

The jacket zipper is a visual clue that your balance is in the best position through a turn. In order to place your jacket zipper in that position, you’ll find you have to adjust the orientation of your torso through the turn. Your torso will continuously tilt toward gravity, and you’ll use your legs to create this alignment. As you see your jacket zipper stay over the downhill edge of the inside ski, you should also see your outside leg set up outside of your hips for good balance.

This is a simple seeing focus, try it with a trailing partner for best feedback!
