Gradually increase the pitch of the terrain to green and adjust rate, intensity, duration and timing of turning movements to create a variety of turn shapes and sizes.precison from more than 10 years of experience in digital tools.Note: depending on speed, terrain, and amount of leg rotation, the inside ski may begin to move into a parallel relationship.Focus on legs turning independently of the pelvis. When skis begin to turn out of the fall line, slowly begin to turn legs in opposite direction. On most gentle green terrain, from gliding wedge, slowly begin to rotate both femurs to turn the skis either right or left. ![]() Repeat a series of these movements to develop awareness of sensations of both internal and external rotation of femurs. Then slowly rotate femurs while slightly increasing stance width to develop a wedge. Once in a gliding wedge (see above) slowly rotate the femurs while narrowing stance slightly to bring skis back to parallel relationship. Wedge change up: develop ability to use leg rotation to adjust the overall size of the wedge.Keep the skis on as low of edge angle as possible. Slowly rotate both legs in the hip sockets, while widening the stance slightly to create a wedge relationship of skis. Practice a straight run in hip width stance. Subtle turning of both legs promotes turning of the skis through all phases of the turn.Tipping comes from ankle and legs plus slight displacement of skis.Rotary movements of the skis come from the legs turning separate from the upper body.Legs are moved apart/displaced slightly to widen stance, but width is managed to promote low edge angles and small gliding wedge.Joints of the body are flexed to maintain center of mass over middle of skis (fore/aft).Skis turn at similar rate throughout the turn.Outside ski edge angle decreases from finish through initiation.Ski tips are turned towards each other and skis are displaced slightly to create wedge relationship.An additional benefit to using a wedge is that the outside ski is already at a steering angle that makes it easier for the skier to turn the skis in the intended direction. Familiarity with both the mechanics and sensations of wedge turning help the instructor to understand what the student who uses a wedge turn experiences. The wedge continues to be used by many ski schools across the country as a platform for introducing sliding and first turning movements. This activity involves skiing a series of linked wedge turns on gentle green terrain. ![]()
