Pizza to French Fries

Goal

The skier's COM moves to the inside of the turn (angulation) flattening the inside ski, enabling the ski to pivot parallel to the outside ski and to increase the edge angle of the outside ski to grip the snow.

Helps when a skier has difficulty bringing the inside ski to parallel.

Details

On a gentle slope, have skiers make a gradual turn starting with a slightly smaller wedge (pizza), then turn the inside ski tip away from the outside ski until their skis are parallel (french fries) and they come to a stop. Repeat using the same terrain so skier can confidently increase speed and momentum.
