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 body balan.ce should be-perpendicular to the slope. Elbows are flexed, hands hlp-hlgh~-forward and slightly off the body. 4 £,.,ommon Faul t8 10 Failure to keep skis on snowo 2.

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. Edging one ski more than the other. 4. letting ankle$ rollout. \'lhlch wi II make outside edge dig Into snow. (lo'~er leg must be at lateral right angle to rurmlng ~urfece of ski. 5. Failure to keep weight e~~al on each ski. 6. Crossing ski tip.i which h brought about by a combInation of unequal weight and edging. ~'-OW TUR~ . 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.
