Amir – Duluth, MN (son of Yelena). Not much talking, lots of skiing, more activity with the ankles and knees, getting lower and aggressive, skis closer (same width as hips), not collapsing the knees to the inside (each knee over each foot), absorbing the bump, keep head at constant height in uneven terrain (aka, bumps), both skis on the snow, always maintain edge grip, let the tips drop toward the fall line as edge change occurs/pressure both skis around the turn as the legs extend when the bump falls away, tip and steer both skis together (no wedging at transition in the bumps), it’s ok (very ok) to let the inside leg shorten as the hip rotates to face the outside of the turn (this a must to enable leg steering through the finish phase of turn).
