Jump a Creek

Goal

Encourage movement of COM before legs move.

Helps when a skier tries to move foot forward first resulting in COM being on rear foot.

Details

No poles, no skis. Mimic a DP action and as the skier stands up and arms return, use that forward momentum to jump "over a creek" landing on one leg. This forces the skier to commit to one kick leg on landing.

Manoeuvres

Skill

Note: Tasks can be adapted to different manoeuvres, skills, and skiers. Try them. Be creative.
