Derin day 5

Today a lot of things coming together –

  • Pivoting – Pelvis always facing downhill –
  • Pivoting – Legs turn in their hip joints – turned by the mechanism (not by twisting)
  • Pivoting – Don’t let the uphill knee fall inwards – use only the Centre of Mass to move
  • Off Piste – Commit strongly to the dynamics – don’t hesitate (All good)
  • Carving – Using leg retraction – good progress
  • Carving – Straight outside leg – Bend at hip
  • Free Skiing Close Stance – pull inside ski in beside the outside ski using adductor muscles
  • Free Skiing Close Stance – gives turn transition from uphill edge uphill ski
  • Free Skiing Wide Stance – bent uphill leg – stronger “push” with leg extension – aggressive turn initiation from uphill ski, uphill/outside edge, but rapid switch to the inside edge
