Lengthening Strides

Goal

Ankle, knee, hip and torso align to balance over a flat ski. Arms and legs move smoothly and opposite. Leg force is generated by flexing all joints, followed by a quick extension that projects the COM forward and across onto the other ski.

Helps when a skier has trouble balancing on one ski.

Details

Lengthen each stride along a slight downslope.
