Sideways Steps

Goal

The skier manages forces by flexing all joints, holding a stable position on one ski, followed by a quick extension that projects the COM across onto the other ski.

Helps when a skier has trouble stepping from one ski to the other.

Details

While straight running, the skier takes a small sideways step and lands the ski parallel. The other ski is then brought over beside that ski. Repeat this with several steps to the left and then to the right.
