PHASE1: Phase 1 • Both edges released together;
• Separation diminishes as skis are released from arc; • BOS and COM leave turn simultaneously;
• Stance is centred and mobile.
PHASE2: Phase 2 • A new platform on both edges with the outside ski as primary
turning ski;
• Separation is created as skis are turned into arc;
• Skidded, steered or carved, the lower body leads the turning
effort;
• Activity in fore-aft plane maintains a centred stance.
PHASE3: Phase 3 • Maintain balance on both edges; • Increase edge angles with blend of inclination and angulation; • Separation is maintained or increased as lower body
continues to lead turning effort;
• Turning forces managed by flexion and lateral balance.
