The alternation of support on one foot and on the other, left-right-left-right is the common denominator at all levels in the execution of a series of curves. Whether they are small, medium or large curves, snow plow or conduction, at reduced speed or at high speed, the sequence of curves inevitably involves the alternation of balance from external foot to external foot giving the desired rhythm and intensity of effort. muscle proportionate to the needs.

It is also important for expert skiers to have a clear understanding of this common denominator for all curves and to try to perform all types of curves in a single descent, from the snowplow to the curve underway, respecting this criterion.
By observing this descent, the beginner skier will be able to convince himself that by learning this basic rule of skiing well, he will be able to make very rapid progress because it will guarantee him the correct balance to develop skills and confidence in all types of situations and on any slope.
The more you refer to this rule and the less your head (... your head will be filled) with complicated technical notions, the better ...
... And even when it is necessary to go deeper into certain themes and with certain exercises, this rule must always be the "lighthouse" to refer to in order not to get lost in a sea of useless things.
Remember these three things: 1) Alternation of balance 2) Rhythm / Rhythms 3) Intensity
With these three elements you will go very far, you can have great satisfaction and the basis for further and finer progress ... guaranteed Jam Session!
