Transitions in skiing
transitions - connecting ski turns -
how to flow from one turn to the next
What is the correct way to transition? Should I rise up between turns? (*new Oct-09*)
When do we use crossover and when cross through? Turn shape, edge angles, terrain, something else…? (*new Dec-09*)
Do we create a leading ski while performing pelvic shift? If yes, how does it correspond to leading ski as an old school technique? How to reconcile it with PSIA model? (*new Dec-09*)
Does ILE require pelvic shift in transition. Should ILE be used while skiing into a counter? If not then what should power up the transition? OLR? Does skiing into counter calls for OLR? (*new Dec-09*)
