Frank & Andrew – St. Louis. Guess the focus of today would be how to complete the last 5% of the turn (and such is not all that easy). As the skis come around the bottom of the turn with high pressure, strong leg steering is needed to finish the turn out … and for that to happen the hips need to be open to the outside of the turn, the inside leg flexed up toward the chest, the core dropping to the inside of the turn -with that, the femurs are allowed to rotate aggressively and bring the turn across (and sometimes up) the hill for speed control. Uphill arcs with inside leg tipping, line drill, hockey stops, how to deal with icy spots (prayer maybe best option), lots of bumps (keep skis on the snow, edges maintaining grip), short radius/long radius/fast/slow turns, engage the inside edge of the new outside ski (feel that edge), start to pressure the ski as the new inside leg flexes and the hips progressively rotate and open to the outside of the turn and the skis and CM (center of mass) quickly begin to separate in the lateral plain.
PS. Clemson was tough, they are on a roll, not sure they are up to Alabama.
