Objective
Skiing on the uphill (mountain-side) edges.
Terrain: Moderately Steep
Movement Description
From the traversing snowplough and elevated Middle Position, put more weight on the downhill ski—edge and turn in the uphill ski—initiate the slide. Control the skis by adjusting your stance as needed. End the traverse sliding by steering the skis toward the slope.
Methodical Progression
- While stationary: from the snowplough position, put weight on the downhill ski and turn in the uphill ski
- Traverse across the slope in the snowplough position, matching the uphill ski to initiate a curved slide
- Apply during easy descents (targeted sliding, speed control)
