Break the Pane

Goal

The elbows break the plane of the back first and then hands.

Helps when a skier poles using straight arms and without an effective tricept extension.

Details

When poling, demonstrate the elbow passing the torso before extending the lower arm - as if the skier is trying to break a pane of glass behind them with their elbows.
