Chapter 2: The Perfect Motion Control Techniques

Synopsis

There are quite a few different motions that will require some practice to be able to ski fairly competently. Therefore, one should take the time to study all the different styles to ensure a more pleasant skiing experience.

Ski Like A Pro

The following are some of the more common ski techniques that will help the skier perfect the skiing motion:

• Shuffle – this is a walking motion on the skis which may seem rather difficult but is easily done with the right technique in place. Without actually lifting the ski off the snow, the individual would simply have to slide the ski forward with the help of the poles on either side held by the skier’s hands.

• Classic stride – here the strides are long and gliding where the individual would have to step onto the ski and push back on that ski with the leg. This motion is often referred to as the kick style. As the leg pushing motion is finished on one side, the other side commences the same action. This results in a single leg stride for every single pole push with one arm.

• Double pole – here the forward motions are heavily dependent on both of the poles as they are moved in a parallel motion together to create movement. The hands are required to be brought upwards to about the shoulder level, then by plating the tips of the poles into the snow, a pushing motion is executed to create momentum for the movement.

• Kick double pole – this is an addition to the original leg push as there is a double pole push in this style. The first motion is to push one leg back against one ski and kick, then at the same time bring both arms up and forward to be ready for the double push. When this is done you will keep gliding on both skis.

Chapter 3: Bump Skiing The Right Way

Synopsis

As the title probably already says it all, the bump skiing technique will ideally involve learning how to maneuver over bumps in the snow without losing balance or speed, while enjoying the “ride”. Also commonly referred to as moguls, this style is commonly used as most ski slopes are rather bumpy.

H0w To Bump Ski

Basically the skier has to learn how to maneuver in an almost zigzag pattern to avoid encountering bumps while skiing down a slope, steep or otherwise. This is a slower style but an effective one when it comes to maintaining balance all the way down. It will also allow the skier to maximize on the speed most comfortable to the individual at all times, without having to stop periodically to recapture balance.

This style also does not really require the individual to maximize on the speed of their reflexes as this particular skill may decline as the skier ages. The zigzag swaying pattern will help to create better control which should in turn provide the skier with the leeway to define the progressively faster reflexes as the pitch of the run increases.

The best technique to use when trying to master skiing on bumps is the mogul one, as it provides maximum speed control possibilities and therefore it is the quickest method to achieving confidence in an off piste terrain. There are also other slightly varying techniques that require the skier to take a slightly faster line but still provides the effective method of staying balanced and remaining in good control at all times. Combining these methods will allow the skier to use the basics but make wider swaying turns along bigger angles to keep up with a faster momentum. The idea is to actually use the slopes on the declining side of the bumps to create the push for the zigzag motions.

Chapter 4:

Improve Your Traverse Skills

Synopsis

There are several different motions linked to the traverse skills in skiing. These vary according to their uses based on the terrain the skier is going to be challenged with. Therefore some understating of the basic traverse movement should be made clear.

Tips On Traverse Style

The traverse style is used when skiing across terrain or as a part of linked medium turns. Using the right stance is important, and this includes extending the arms forward, keeping the knees bent, and leaning the shins against the boots. This should be done with the distribution of approximately 70/30 between downhill and uphill skiing. Keeping the hips positioned over the feet will facilitate the movement of the uphill ski and boot to about half a boot ahead of the downhill ski and boot positioning.

Knees should be positioned slightly inside the turn while the hips are turned in the direction traveling and slightly down the hill. This will help to ensure the edging comes from the hips. This will also keep your balance in check and the majority of the skier weight on the downhill ski.

The different types of traverse progressions include the traverse edge set, side slipping, traverse with tipping skis uphill, hopping from foot to foot, down the hill, and the uphill ski.

The main idea is to be able to execute nice and smooth turns with your skis in consistently matched positions, while putting more weight on the downhill ski. The right stance will further enhance the effectiveness of the movement, as the knees are constantly being flexed and extended according to the turn made in the ankles and hips to ensure the arc is nicely made when maneuvering around bumps.

Chapter 5: Easy Way To Side Sliding

Synopsis

Side sliding, also otherwise often referred to as side slipping is another braking method often used when the skier is trying to make a sudden and almost immediate stop.

Stopping Quickly

This breaking technique ideally utilizes the sliding action that is similar to the movement used when descending short pitches that are difficult to ski on. In this particular motion, the skier has to be positioned in a perpendicular fashion to the slope and slide sideways downhill. The sliding down movement should only be done at the approximate measurement of about a foot or two at any given time. This particular technique is usually favored by the more experienced or advanced skier and is especially effective when there are trees or other obstacles in the way of the skiing path chosen.

This technique is also commonly used on steep and rocky slopes, as it allows the skier to get through the tricky and often dangerous terrain with more careful coordination and skill. There is also the question of speed which this movement allows effective control over. The maximum control of motion this side sliding maneuver allows can help to create optimum yet controlled speed and agility, even through the rough terrain which in turn will help the skier keep the balance and maintain stability better than the more conventional methods which are used.

In order to execute side sliding effectively, the skier has to ensure the skis are across the hill and parallel to the fall line while turning the upper torso so that it is facing downhill. This position is often referred to as the countered position. Both the skis should be on the uphill edges, then the skis should move into the flattened positions while allowing them to slide down the hill.
