3. Turning on the level
|
Let us assume that you have got your skis on, your sticks correctly held, and before setting of we'll practise a few quick turns on the level.
Raise the ski well oil the ground, and with the sticks to assist you in maintaining balance, you will have no difficulty in carrying out this turn.
1. Skis parallel, and flat on the snow. Right stick pointing forward and near the tip of the ski, left stick near the heel of the ski. Support yourself on you sticks.
2. Raise the left ski and swing it right the way round through 180º.
3. Place the left ski down on the snow, parallel to the right ski.
1. Swing the right ski all the way round, and bring it along side the left. Your turn — the kick turn — has now been completed.
