Ski TechniqueBeginners ski course
After having learned to drift from the diagonal descent, sideways, to lose altitude and develop the ability in different snow and slope situations, you are now ready to perform beautiful turns with parallel skis, controlling the drift throughout the curve.

For this to be good and you can feel safe and master of the situation, I recommend:
1) As you enter the curve, the idea must be to gradually gain total balance on the ski outside the curve, with the chest that from a little before the middle of the curve and until the end of the curve goes down towards the foot outside the curve. curve itself. 2) The secret lies in the determination to push down and lower the chest / shoulder block towards the outside foot. No hesitation otherwise stay behind. It can help to take a long breath into the first part of the turn and then exhale strongly and deeply throughout the second part of the turn as you rest your chest on the outside foot.
In this way you will be able to obtain a feeling of solid balance in the most difficult phase of the curve.You will also feel the right timing and progressiveness of the action.After a few descents made by exaggerating the movement a little, you will find the right adjustment of strength, amplitude of the movements and you will get beautiful round curves in perfect balance.
