23. In a Flush
The skier's problem in this case is negotiating a Flush. First of all he must find out from which side to tackle in combination of this kind. It all depends upon the position of the exit gate. Hut the important thing is to maintain good "height" for each gate. By anticipating the gate, and turning before he actually readies it. he will avoid losing height, and he will also obtain greater speed throughout his run.
1. The preliminary change of weight or "counter-stemming" for
the first turn has been completed. The left (outer) hip is thrust forward.
2. Weight on the outer ski. Knees well flexed and advanced.
3. The weight is shifted over to the right ski. and the right hip is thrust forward.
4. Completing the "Hush", and lull speed ahead for the next gate. Split seconds count.
