Notes from the mountains in winter

SCROLL
Chapter III

Technique

  • Stance. Ankles flexed, hands forward, weight centred over the feet.
  • Look ahead. Eyes down the hill, not at the skis.
  • Edges. Turns are made by rolling the skis onto their edges, not by twisting.
  • Rhythm. A steady pole plant sets the tempo for each turn.
