Good overall dynamics – arms looking natural – good rhythm
Working on Hip Angulation
Relaxing the hip joints takes practice (replacing “bending both the knees”) but the following “Feet Forward” should help a lot. The skier pushes the uphill ski froward in a skating action as the body overall moves down the fall line. (a bit like the video I removed with the feet/legs being extended side to side but with a leg that will experience the foot going from behind the body to in front of the body following an arc and with hip angulation.)
Feet Forward Technique
“Feet Forward Technique”… gives security through the start of a turn on steep terrain by tightening the turn radius.
Pushing the outside (uphill initially) foot forward during the turn. The foot never gets in front of the other foot – it just tightens the turn instead.
The exercise is practised with skis off and standing in ski boots. For this static exercise we use ski pole support with the body faced downhill with the uphill foot pointing across the hill and the downhill foot pointing downhill and the heel jammed into the snow. The uphill boot is pulled over onto its inside edge and pushed forwards in a natural arc.
Here is some video of exactly the same action in ice hockey training. In skiing the direction of travel would be straight downhill instead of straight ahead on the flat ice.
