Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Tips & Warnings:
- Quite often there appears to be a lot of weight on the uphill ski as it crosses over, and you stop dead and fly out of the front. As long as you project your weight forward as you put the pole in, and keep it forward until the skis have come round, you should avoid this problem as your weight will remain over the downhill ski.
- This tentative exercise of linking some turns together should be done at the start of every session for twenty turns or so to get you into a good rhythm.
Step1
First, you need to keep up some forward momentum by pointing the skis more down the hill. You should almost come to a stop on the bump before dropping over it.
Step2
Remember the pole plant. Gauge your speed, and use the dip with the snow in it to brake you before the next pole plant. You will have to keep a very close look at the ground; anticipate the braking trough, and the accelerating downside, and move your weight slightly backwards for the dip and slightly forwards for the downside. This weight shift backwards and forwards needs some explanation. You will recall that as a general rule the weight should remain over the middle of your foot.
Step3
The main thing is to anticipate the change in gradient. It’s one thing for the skis to slide out from underneath you as you sit down with a bump. It’s quite another for them to stop dead on the upside of a bump catapulting you head first out of both bindings.
Step4
You may find to start with that the uphill ski crosses over the top of the downhill as you come round, thereby putting you in a somewhat tricky position.
