Ski TechniqueBetter skiing
Eighth episode of the game that NeveItalia and Jam Session propose you to improve your technique! Today it's up to Erica to show us her typical skiing and based on the video recording made in Val Senales, we asked users of our Facebook page to correct her mistakes. Here's what the result was.

The first thing that notes Valerio Malfatto by Jam Session is that Erica is not very effective with the feet in the first part of the curve, in particular it delays a lot to get in grip with the corner, waiting for the ski to feel the corner.
At the end of the first ski the advice for Erica is therefore to give strength to entry into the corners, imagining scratching away the snow. Probably in this phase of its growth Erica will continue to drift but must begin to feel more the edge in the first part of the curve. In the second descent Valerio anticipates the next suggestion for Erica that will concern the conviction and the rhythm in skiing.
In the next shoot we see the Jam Session demonstrators and we have the opportunity to appreciate how important the rhythm is to manage the sequence of curves to the fullest.
