Jacki & Addy – Madison. When the turn starts with a rotation of the new outside ski, the result usually is a high edge angle, short radius turn with the driver somewhat in the back seat, lifting the new inside ski because it’s stuck and little speed control. Ok, that being said, lesson focus: learning to skid, use more of the bottoms of the ski and less of the edge, friction in the skidding turn is just as important as shaping and finishing the turn, hips more toward the outside of the turn (that would be downhill at finish), where is the sweet pressure point of the foot, shin pressure, small corridor (safer), rounder turns, patience at transition, tip before steer (this is a biggie), steering both feet/skis simultaneous.
