wow you ARE a clever boy  |

I wasnt shouting about it-clearly I am more inexperienced than I thought I was! But I agree, interesting thread-if I do ever start instructing Ill take all the points on board! |

i currently ski on the Scott RC which is possibly a bit stiff so Im going to suggest the Scott CX
Just make sure you try them out before you buy them-snowdome etc |

i know i (unfortunately) am the one who started this entire discussion afetr using the foragonal (but I did say that its just a word that stuck in my head as it sounded funny)
but it is same with teaching-the best way to teach maths or skiing im sure is to simplify it until you are either ready for a detailed description or want it. Unfortunately ski instructors sometimes dont get that-prob more so the foreign ones? |

you're right though-the pole plant can be used as a starting point for the turn-as long as it is kind of "up and out" with a strong movement it will help keep the weight in the right place and not a short "flicked" movement near your boots

and before anyone has a go i dont profess to being a ski instructor, ive just done the course and found it useful!

Ally, Im sorry to choose that word-it was just one of the ones that stood out from the week! It describes the start of the turn when you start to put pressure on the inside ski and move to pointing more down the hill (in the fall line). It is to try and promote you staying with the idea of being perpendicular and not having too much weight back. The perpendicular thing made sense to me too-you walk at 90degrees to a pavement but when you ski a lot of us arent 90degrees to the hill |
