  1. Movements of Skiing 2010 Fall Training Seminar

  2. Evolution of an Instructor • What do I teach? (Drills/tasks) • How do I teach? (Progressions) • Why do I teach – develop an understanding of the fundamental movements of skiing.

  3. Fundamental Movements • Stance Adjustment • Tipping of feet & legs to engage and release edging • Twisting the feet and legs • Adjusting foot to foot movements • Flexing and extending of the ankles, knees, hips and spine. Based on Vail Handbook and Sean Warman Images & Concepts of Skiing 2008

  4. Adjusting Stance • Open stance (functional for your body) • Shoulders forward of hips • Spine fairly tall but flexible • Keep functional tension of torso • Shins maintain contact with boot cuffs forward and laterally • Feet are pushed and pulled forward and back under a stable pelvis • Efficient hand are arms movements in direction of travel

  5. Adjusting Stance How do we teach? • Open stance? • Shoulders forward of hips? • Upright spine? • Functional tension of torso? • Shin/tongue contact? • Push pull of feet? • Efficient hand movements.

  6. Tipping the feet & legs /edging • Feet, legs and hips move diagonally (forward and laterally) to engage/release edges • Feet roll in and out (pronate /supinate) inside boot. • More dynamic? Skis tip on edge earlier. • One smooth movement Sean Warman Ch 4

  7. Tipping feet legs / edging How do we teach? • Diagonal movement of legs/ feet /hips? • Rolling of foot inside the boot? • How to tip skis earlier? • One smooth movement?

  8. Twisting Feet and Legs • Legs turn more than upper body • Turning movements originate in feet and legs • Develop counter/anticipation movements with inside leg, hip and shoulder, hand leading through turn.

  9. Twisting Feet and Legs How do we teach? • Legs turn more than upper body • Turning movements originate in feet and legs • Counter? • Strong inside half?

  10. Adjusting foot to foot movements • Weight transfer is smooth • Dominate outside foot through two feet to dominate outside foot. • Balance is directed toward outside ski as weight is re-distributed to two feet • Outside ski bends more than inside ski – inside ski is grounded – using both skis • Shoulders are level to the horizon through turn

  11. Adjusting foot to foot movements • How to we teach? Weight transfer is smooth • Smooth weight transfer? • Balance over outside ski? • Keeping outside ski dominate but using both skis • Shoulders are level to the horizon? Sean Warman – ch 3 (fundamental 2)

  12. Flexing and Extending • Ankles knees and hips • The outside ski bends from the middle. • In VERY dynamic turns, pressure is applied to the tip and tail through use of the whole foot under a stable center of mass. • Shins seek contact with both boot tongues • Continuous movement of all joints.

  13. Flexing and Extending How do we teach? • Flexion of the Ankles knees and hips • How to pressure the middle of the ski. • Using the whole foot under a stable center of mass to transfer pressure from tip to tail. • Shins seek contact with both boot tongues • Continuous movement of all joints.

  14. What movements are we teaching? Tipping Twisting Pivot slips Hockey Slips Patience turns Hourglass (long –short -long) • Sideslips • Traverse • One ski traverse • Garlands • Tip the leg Flexing and Extending • Falling leaf • Leapers • Skating
