Side 5

Goal

The skier's COM moves to the inside of the turn (angulation) to increase the edge angle of each ski to grip the snow.

Helps when a skier's body faces into the turn instead of the line of momentum through the turn.

Details

Step Turn without poles. As the skier steps around a turn, have them reach their outside arm/hand to the outside of the turn and give a low side 5 (rather than a high 5) to the instructor who is standing on the outside of the arc. Try both directions.

Manoeuvres

Skill

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