Engage the Stance Ski eVideo

OverviewWhen skiers first learn PMTS Direct Parallel technique, it's important that they are passive with the stance foot, both to “unlearn” any inefficiencies from their previous technique, and to focus their efforts on learning the activities of the free foot and leg. Once a skier can balance on their stance ski and use the tipping of the free foot and shortening of the free leg to determine the arc and rate of their turns, then it's time to learn the role of the stance foot. Everting the stance foot – rolling it toward its big-toe or inside edge – creates leverage against the medial sidewall of the ski boot. This movement of the stance foot adjusts the edge grip of the stance ski and permits the skier to make really quick edge-set turns, often useful in moguls. This video shows you how to learn and perform this subtle yet effective movement of your stance foot so that you have more control over how your skis behave and the turns you can make.StatsPresenter: Diana Rogers. 42 minutes,
