IMPORTANT! Understanding our approach and philosophy is important if you'd like to successfully use the drills in Ski Smarts
 ... read more.


In dynamic short radius turns, strive to:
  • Maintain a relaxed and efficient stance, with feet slightly apart.
  • Keep a countered stance, with your upper body staying stable, while facing down the hill, as opposed to your legs and feet that rapidly change direction.
  • Steer both skis simultaneously and actively in the same direction.
  • Extend down the hill from the uphill ski at the end of turns (roughly where your skis are across the flow line,) to achieve a carved turn.

Print this out for future reference and remember to have fun!
