Counter Rotation - A quick trunlng motion of one part of the body resulting In a counter action In another part of the body when resistance (In skis Is eliminated. Counter rotation can be effective only when skis are unwelghted. 16. Counter Hastlon - Motion around th~ vertl.al axis of the body opposite the direction of the turn. This motion takes place with weight on skis to maintain balance and body position durir.g the trun. It i'1IUSt.!!9..! be confused with Counter rotation. 17. Leverage - Accentuated forward lean. · All new students want to become excellent skiers In the shortest possible time. This is also tN goal o·f the ski school and your ski Instructor. You must keep In mind that expert skiers are not ~~de In a few days. We have found that the procedure used in the ski school is the best way for you to become an accomplished skier. The teaching sequence, which will be taught In the ski school is as follows: 1. Walking and cll~~lng steps are taught briefly to get the student to feel at ease on his sklf 2. Straight running 3. - Stra I ght snowp low 4. Srnowp low turn 6. Stem turn 7. Side slIp and side slip traverse or fcrward aide slip 8, Uphill christy from tra~erse 9. Stem garland as an approa~h to stem christy 10. Stem christy II. Parallel christy 12 . Shortwln9 ~IP~IGKT RUNNING Straight running should be taught on a gentle slope wif~h " long outrun .. rhe skis should be kept flat on the SII'1lOW, and close togethero Weight should be equally distributed on each skill with .nklev" knees and body $llghtly flexed.

The tails of the skis should be displaced at equal angles fit'am the fall lIne with the ski ttps close together and weight equally dl5trtbuted on each ski. The running surfaces of the skis should be at right angles to the lower legs. The ankles, knees and body should be slightly flexed, with body perperdicular to the slope. Edging of the skis be~~es Important In the snow plo~ because the student must edge each ski equally. o~ a gentle slope, only a slight amount of edge Is required. Arm and hand positIon the same as In straight running po~ltlon. Coomon f au 1t 5 1. LeanIng back on heels with stiff straight leg!. 2. Over-edg'"9 skis. 3.

The snowplow turn. a$ tau ~~ht In the Earl M' Iler Ski Schoof J Introduces the student to the first fundamentals of the n~dern way of skiing» lower body turning power and proper body position. fundamentals learned In the snowplow turn will be applied In the most advanced turns. A. Should be performed on gentle slope. B. Explain and check proJ:ler snowplow po~ltlon befo:re attempting turn. C. Take position In straight snowplo~ in the fall line. D. first t~y • single left turn. Begin by Q1O'\flog forward for a :short dIstance In a straight \Snowplow. When ready to attempt first turn. gently lower right shoulder and pres'> right knee forward and toward ski tip to Increa$e weight on right ski. Thia po$ltlon Is the students first Introduction to angulatJon~ which will be u~ed In more ad"anced turns. Care must be taken not to over-edge or }03e ski position In a.w Wily. With mo:-at of the skiers weight t,"ansferred to the right 3kl which Is edged~ gravity and deflecting force wIll make the ~kler turn to the left, There Is no u~per body or shoulder rotation. Perfect left turn then right turn then link a sedes of left and right turns. 5 As an aid to maintaining proper body position, the skIer should try to" keep the shoulders at approximately the same angle as the slope. Doing this will help Insure proper body position and weight distribution. ~ Faults For Snow Plow Turn 1. Leaning uphill over uphill or inside ski of turn. 2. LeanIng back on heels with stiff straight legs. 3. Letting ankles rollout so outside edges of ski digs into snow caused by weak ankles. (Loss of right angle between lower leg and running surface of ski.) 4. DraggIng uphf11 ski on Inside edge - a tense and straight uphill leg. (Usually caused by a rotation of hlp to outside. 5. Letting skis get out of snowplow position by tryIng to push outside ski fo~rd In a guiding motion. Donnot lose basic snowplow ski position throughout turn. 6. Too much edgIng prevents skI from slipping. Very little edging Is required. Too little edging eliminates de fecting force. " 7. Complete relaxation Is Important. 8. Putting too much effort tlnto turn defeats p~er action. TRAVERSE - RI~t and Left A. Teach on gentle slope with long outrun. B. Keep skis parallel and close together. " C. UphIll ski, ankle, knee, hlp and shoulder advanced slightly. D. Knees and ankles bent forward with more weIght on downhill foot. E. Depending on steepness of slope use proper amount of angulation to Insure good weight distribution and edging. &ommon Faults I. Improper use of knees and ankles which results In unequal edging. 2. SItting back on heels. 3. Leaning uphill. 4. Skis too wide. 5. Trailing uphill ski. 6. Imp~er body position or angulation. 7. Improper weight distribution." STEM TURN , A simple explanation of stem turns is snowplow turn$ linked by parallel traverses. Follow this procedure: A. Travers B. With a slight sinking motion and Increase of weight on downhill ski the uphill ski Is st~med. This movement 6'IIminates the traverse position and the skier is n~w In-a snowplow position with the outside skI edged an.i placed in the dl rectlon of desl red turn. 6 C. With smooth and total motion body position Is changed and we ight Is transferred to the stemmed or outside of turn. o. Continue turning as In a snowplow turn unti I you have reached your new desired ang le of traverse. E. Return to parallel traverse position by bringing the uphill or Inside ski fo~rd and aprallel with the downhill ski. Each of these steps must be defInite and clear. The stem tum must be learned well because each movement taught In this turn will be used in the stem christy and parallel turns. Conwnon Fau I ts I. Failure to stem skI on down motion. 2. Failure to release edge of Inside ski. 3. Change of we i ght too soon . 4. Failure to change body position (angulation) wIth the progress of turn. 5. Late ski lead change (uphIll ski must take lead) 6. Unequal edging when returning to parallel position (over-edging uphlt I ski .) 7. Late application of turning pwer. (weight to outside ski) 8. Failure to continue turning power until turn Is completed. EDGE CONTROL. SIDE SLIP. AND SIDE SLIP TRAVERSE Probably one of the most Important single factors In the mechanics of skiing Is edge control. The setting and releasing of the edges Is con trolled with the knees and ankle., synchronized with unwelghtlng, we ight Increase and upper body position. Parallel Iide slipping is accomplished In this way . Edge Control and Side SllpplQJ A. Start In a nonnel standing traverse position. B. Sinking In the knees, ankles and body, tilt knees and ankles Into slope for required amount of edging to hold on slope. C. To release edges and allow skis to side slip, rise In the knees, ankles and body to unwelght skis and at the same time let knees and ankles push gently .way from slope. Care must be taken to be sure that edging and edge release Is equal on each ski. Upper body must stay over skis to maintain balance. D. To re-set edges and stop sid, slip sink In the kness and ankles and body and at the same time force ,"ees and ankles Inioslope. When knees and ankles are pushed Intoward the slope, the upper body, f~ waist to head, must lean away from slope to maintain balance. This position Is sOIIetlmes referred to as a comma position or angu latIon. Forward Side Slip While moving In a traverse on a gentle slope, rise slightly and release edges equally as In the straight side slip. You will find your self moving forward In a traverse with skis Slipping. To stop slipping 7 re-set edges as In the straight side slip. The skter should try to maIn tain a slight comma positIon to maintain proper we~ght distribution and balance. Uphill or Into Hill Christx Into the hill christy Is the first turn a skier learns to make with his skis parallel. Christy Uphill q A. Move forward In a traverse posItion. B. Sink gently In knees, ankles and bod V with edges set to hold line of traverse. C. Rise In up forward motion of knees, anldes and body and release edges as In fo~rd stde slip. D. Return tmedlately to a down position wIth Increased angulation. forw~rd lean and slight counter motion. This movement wIll apply leverage to the skis and bring about the christy phase of the turn. Body position Is very Important, and the posit·ion of the' upper body must change ",1th each movement of the skis. In a christy turn, the tails of the skis are desplaced as a result of the ski tips carving. It must be remembered that the upper body must move In the same direction as the back of the skis in order to maintain p,'oper balance and weight distribution. When arc. of turn Is completed, rise to a nonnal traverse position. E. uphill christy can also be done without a down up down motion. Use only. drop and heel push If a quick turn Is needed. Common Faults I. Unequal edging - usually over-edging uphill ski causes backs of skis to cross. 2. Improper body polstion - leading with downhill shoulders or hips leaning uphill too m~ch. 3. Trailing uphill ski causes tips to cross and causes poor weight distribution. 4. Failure to move upper body posItion with back of skis In the Into the hIlI christy. (poor angulation) Leaves skier leaning uphill and off balance with weigh' on uph I '15k I • S. Failure to use slight counter motIon as skis carve will sometimes lead to over rotation and loss of balance. 6. Late retum or fal lure to return to down position ot apply leverage to turn. STEM GARLAND AS AN APPROACH TO STEM CHRI STY The stem garland Is not a complete turn. It Is always difficult for a student to overcome the fear of approaching and turning through the fall line. The stem garland Is of great va1ue in helping to overcome this fear. It also Is an excellent exercise to perfect all of the movements of a stem christy turn. "The stem garland Is perfornled in this way. A. St~rlit~9 :",.('1' {i'.:;.t ,'I!~~! tl"t';fe; r$4"! ,.~'· ;;~ ! ~i.mt · p'.ro~:I~ r;, ; ;·~;. ~ ..; !;. >~ 'H~i'\'I turn_ s.

In the Beginning stem Christy, f~ the traverse we proceed ~ctly the same as In the stem turn • . When you rea~h the fell line In a snowplow ~sltlon. complete the turn by doing a snowplow christy. The most important feult at this poInt Is falluie to have a deflnhe down, uP. down motion. We must have up-unwelghtlng to perforlll the stem christy with proficiency. STEM CHR I SlY After mastering the stem turn, stem garland, and begInning stem christy to the rIght and left the skier Is now ready for hIs. fIrst relatIvely high speed turn. With Increased momentum tho steerIng action Is elIminated ~ept for the fact that at the beginning of the turn we stem the uphill ski to change edge on that ski and plaee Itln the dfr.ctlon of the desired tum. There Is more emphasis on lower body turning power and the forces needed for change of direct'on - Deflecting force, Gravitational force (weight), Muscular force (balance) and turning foree. Step by step, the st_ christy Is performed In this way. Step by Step A. Start In a proper .traverse position. B. With a slight sinking motion of the ~ees, ankles, and body the uphl'l ski Is stemmed, placing It In the direction of the tum and changing the edge of that ski. Synchronize the us. of the down hilI ski pole with this movement by touching pole to the snow at a point mldNay between the tip of ski and the to toe of ski boot. The ski pole should touch the snow at the bottom of the down or sinking motion. C. With an up fo~rd motion of the knees, ankles and body, the .kls become un-welghted. At this time weight is ~ransferred to the stemmed outside ski. The Inside ski Is advanced and to the stemmed outside ski. The Inside ski Is advanced and brought parallel as the skIs enter the christy phase. Turning power starts as a result of Deflecting force and gravity. D. This Is followed Immediately by a down motion combined with engue angUlation and slight counter motion. This will add leverage to the turn. E. Hold this turning pwer untIl new desired angle of traverse has been ruchad. F. After turn Is completed return to a more upright relaxed position and prepare for next turn. G. It must be remembered that from the beginning of the turn to the end of the turn the upper body must change smoothly and gradually to a new comna position. (total motion) 'ommon Faults for Stem Chrlst.x I. Failure to have a definite down, up, down motion. This makes It difficult to have proper unweightlng. 2. Late or no application of the first turning power. 3. Late Iud change. 4. Poo~ timing In use of skI pole. S. Unequal edging when skis are paralle!. 10 6. Late change of upper body position fr~1l comma to new c:onma. 7. Absence of down motion to apply leverage and power to c:omp I ete tu m. PARALLEL CHRISTY Generally speaking, there is very lltt!e difference between a stem christy tum and a parallel turn. In a stem christy turn, tne uphill ski Is stemmed to begin the turn, and consequently the edges are changed separately. In the parallel chrIsty the skis remain parallel at all times and edge change takes place at the same time for both skis. The motions, timing and rhythm used In the stem chrIsty will also apply to the parallel turn. Parallel Cbrlsty Exere~ The greatest prObelms to the student at thIs tIme are to overcome the natural fear of the appnGach to the fall lIne with skis parallel and the setting and release of the edges together 'nstead of one ski at a time. It Is necessary and helpful to go th~ugh a few exercIses to over come these p rob I ems • I. SettIng and releasing edges while moving In a traverse. 2. Check hop garlands - Exaggerates setting of edges followed by extreme up unweighting (hop) combined with a displacement of the tails of sklsup-hill (counter rotation; then contInue by doing a fo~ard side slip or uphill christy. The purpose of .the exercise Is to t~ch tbe student to Initiate a turn and release and change edges with skis parall.l. 3. fall line parallel on gentle sl9-2! Using a gentle slope, pTactlce parallel turns with extreme up unweighting (hop) and displacement of the taIls of skis. It Is Important to syc~nlze the timing of pol. plant to assIst In unwelghtlng. thIs exercise also helps the student achieve proper an~ulation and balance whi Ie turning with skis patallel. ~s the tails of the skis are displaced to the right to make a left turn, the upper body IllUst move 01 angulet. to the right In order to maintain ~aJance over the skis. If the taIls of skIs move I.ft, upper body moves left. ~by s;'R procedure of making a parallel turn BegInnIng from the tr8verse~ the first movement wIlt be a down motion at whIch time the downhIll pol' Is p'anted and there Is a setting of edges with Increased wieght on the dow~hll1 skl. With an up motion the skis will be come unw"ghted and edge change, lead change, weight ch~nge and beginning power will take piece. 11 3eglnnh · ~ turning P~( r ~".1~'~1Il ,.,.h,c;e hl ~ht.' foren of counter "c'~l.Itf~.

The first important meeting of the committee will be held during our convention week at Vail, Colorado, April 12th to the 17th, and you will receive further notice regard ing the time and place of that meeting. If I do not hear from you to the contrary, I will assume that-·· you are willing to accept the appointment to the committee. The names of those presently on the committee, together with the desig nation of the chairman, are listed above.
