ski course - focus on body parts
Many ask us where and how to hold the arms, for the position of the arms there is no particular position, we can recommend this in our own way the most ideal.

We start with let our arms hang free then we prepare with half-bending the body slightly forward, at this point we take a stick let's dribble over the wrists, we find ourselves with the elbows that are low in a natural position with only the forearms that rise to support the stick, this is the best position.
If we find ourselves in forced positions with high elbows, our back stiffens a lot, and raising our arms leads us not to go forward but to go backwards.

So crack bust forearms that rise, hands that approach the shoulders and shoulders that approach the hands during the execution of the curve.
