16. Brief survey of the turns shown
|
In my school of ski-ing the following is the sequence taught for pupils equipped with touring ski-.:
3. "Snow-plough" turn. One or more turns at slow speed, concentrating on practising the transference of weight. 4. Stem turn at slightly increased speed, on all sorts of snow. 5. The Teleinark Turn. Most suitable for deep snow, when turning in a large an Also used as a "stop turn".
1. Stem Christie. Third phase. |
Iii the turns so far described, both for skier-, using touring skis .and for those using slalom skis — with the exception of the Stop Christie and the Telemark Turn — there is essentially not much difference in the execution of each turn. The same technique recurs, from the Stem Turn to the Christie at speed. What does vary horn turn to turn is the speed and the stem position. Perhaps the easiest way to explain this is as follows: when you are tinning at a slow speed, your stem position is more pronoun ceil: at greater speed the stem position is less pronounced.
