| Bob's Matador Turn by code2ski | 360 on the flats and 180 or less on sloping terrain. A flavor of Wagon Wheel drill but with the hub moved forward just outside the tip of your skis.
| | Wagon Wheel by code2ski | | Wagon wheel is what the name says it is. Picture a hub and spoke wheel in your mind and apply to the snow with your skis on. | | Erin's Trenches by code2ski | Trenches - best dug on soft days with your ski boots are usually longer and deeper then wider. They are your "magic skis" and are perfect to try before stepping into your first "real skis."
| | The Trick of Art by code2ski | The Trick of Art is an excellent drill, skill development and simply an eye-opening trick that can be used by both students and instructors. The trick is in using poles in a very unconventional way to make the body do what is otherwise a long road from explaining the concepts to seeing them applied in skiing.
| | Teaching Theory: Teaching and Learning Styles by code2ski | Joan E. Heaton is a popular contemporary writer on teaching styles in the PSIA circles, so if you happen to study for a certification with the oraganization, like I do this year, you'd rather get familiar with her work. They are well structured and widely accepted but, as always, one needs to be careful of not killing the natural dynamics of learning and teaching process with over-analysis. | | TELEMARKING for ALPINERS by code2ski | Not long ago I got my first opportunity to tele with and among some of the best free-heelers in the region. And I was hooked, big time! Now, did I hang my alpine boards and free-heel since? No, not at all but I cannot stop thinking about it and I cannot wait another opportunity to go out and tele again to further explore the truths about my alpine skiing! Yes, you got it right, ALPINE skiing. | | Components of Modern Alpine Skiing Techniques by robertz | Introduction of brakaway gates in the early 1980s had big impact on racing techniques but this time around changes in equipment and technology have revolutionized not only racing but skiing, in general. | | Characteristics of a Successful Alpine Skier by robertz | Elite skiers can be differentiated from non-elite skiers on the basis of power, strength and motor characteristics. However, skiing is a typical technique dependent sport and no special physiological variable is dominant to definitely predict the rank within high level performance group.
The article reveals the most important physiological characteristics for a performance-oriented alpine skier. | | Alpine Skiing - Short History and Disciplines Overview by robertz | Skiing is known to be a basic means of transport in Northern Europe for 3000 to 4000 years. Skiing as a competitive sport...
| | Drop-In by robertz | This turn-entry drill can be compared to the pipe entry, where the body center of mass has to travel forward and down into the pipe before the skis move even an inch down the wall. Got it? |
