Lane Change Game

Goal

Skier changes direction by rotating body and inside ski to new direction. Leg force is generated by flexing all joints, followed by a quick extension that projects the COM forward and across onto the other ski. Arm and leg action is smooth and rhythmic.

Helps when a skier puts the incorrect ski in the track first, losing momentum.

Details

Find an area or trail where there are at least two tracks. Have skiers follow a leader as they switch back and forth between sets of tracks. The last ski out of the track is the first ski back into next track.

Skill

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