Many of my racers have difficulty running short radius turns effectively. Indeed, they pick up speed at each turn and end with a very remote position after a few seconds.
One of the frequently encountered elements is a ski steering problem. For many expert skiers a short radius turns is only done by tturning the skis by rotating the feet in one direction and then in the other. I affectionately call this way of skiing where the skier turns very quickly the technique Wiper technique...
Error!
Making an effective short radius turn requires all hip, knee, and ankle muscles to give direction to the ski that will allow it to make a full bow and be parallel to the bottom of the track.
To do so, imagine that you have a flashlight stuck on each of your thighs. Tip: At the end of each turn, you must light up towards the wood and not down the hill.
Remember. light up the wood and not the bottom, and the turn will be played!
Good ski!
