Drill to let the pressure come to the new stance ski?

Postby mauricet101010 » Sat Aug 31, 2024 6:12 pm

I see from comparing my turns to Diana's videos is that her body drops lower inside the turn than mine.
I think that I delay my turn too long and lose the energy from the skis.
But I also think I put too much pressure on the new stance ski too early hindering the body to flow down the hill.
I'm sort of scared to let the skis go out with little pressure???
Are there any drills to address this?
Much thanks

Its all about flexing and making sure that you don't extend the stance leg. As we exit each transition, the old non stance leg is already flexed. Work on keeping it flexed as it becomes and after it becomes the new stance leg ski. Harald talks about allowing pressure to come to the stance ski, versus pushing into it to create pressure. Your ability to produce angles pretty much doubles when you avoid extension. Do runs where in every transition you never extend either leg. Work on keeping the stance leg flexed all the way through the arc and work on flexing the free foot leg even more while you add tipping throughout the arc. Do this for 10 ski days where you exaggerate these movements in every arc. You will start to notice a big difference.
