Slice, Don’t Chop!

Goal

Arms and legs move smoothly and opposite. Skis glide continuously.

Helps when a skier moves foot way from under the COM before the kick starts, rather than projecting COM onto the new ski. COM "stuck" in the middle.

Details

Edge the ski by pushing the COM away from the ski. Focus on maintaining forward momentum and glide.
