http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=I3BnqtQhmwA&feature=related The first is a video of some of the best (past and present) Canadian skiers.. they might not make a solid pole plant but the move is there. THe second is one of the best skiers about just now racing GS.. what? Pole plant. Get some decent lessons and it should be something your ski instructor actively encourages you to do.. if not something is up. If you are not pole planting it can block numerous natural moves. There are certain occasions where pole planting may not be suitable (I doubt you will encounter these judging by what you have said) but the move is essential in maintaining natural consistency to your skiing. |
