Ski Techniqueadvanced ski course
fundamental movement in skiing, as unusual in daily life is the 'laterally tilt the foot to get the edge grip of the skis and the driving in curve. An exceptional metaphor is given by ns. Marco Martini: imagine two double pointed pencils placed transversely to skiing at the height of the paddles. It 'clear that for them to write about here and there must tilt-foot ankles and skiing ... and that to change from writing to our left to our right or vice versa must quickly change the angle of the feet.

We 'very useful to imagine even the pencils on the tails (we will feel even more the edge concentrating the work on his heels), or imagine that there pierce your ankles from ankle to ankle (we hear a lot about walking, very central and a lateral force of really ankles special).
In the video of our demonstrators try to view the change of edge and the angular width of this change, truly remarkable. He observes above all from behind the contemporary work of the tilt of the beads and the continuous inclination incermenteo foot-ankle-shin during cornering.
