Owen – Starkville, MS. Start on Rip’s Ride, end on Colorado Super Chair. How to get rid of the wedge? … can be done, not that easy. Start with traversing with parallel skis, somewhat even weight, side slipping while traversing, less dependency on downhill ski, steering tips uphill at end of traverse, lots of garlands turning uphill from a slipping traverse, releasing the inside ski, starting the turn with the inside ski, balance, more motion in ankles and knees, not so much break at the waist, speed control with friction and shaping, using less of the slope – big traverse not needed.
