Bulgaria Ski discussion board

these turns do not appear over night, one way is to reduce the width of the plough and once comitted to the turn try and bring the inner ski in line with the other as soon as posssible, the outer ski which has the most weight. with carver skis ept turns as used by racers ( edge pressure turns) are easy as from one set of edges it is just a matter or release of pressure by a small upward movement in which the skis will flatten then its all about your hips crossing over your body and putting pressure back on the new edges, no steering involved just the side cut of the ski doing the work, but it takes time and practice. i still hate borovets

remember when u were five n u played at being an aeroplane? the easy way to ski parrellel (and will help u advance to caqrving much quicker) is to run with ur skis in parrallel then simply drop ur outside knee slightly (point it more at the ground between your feet) and then make the aeroplane motion in reverse (ie what would turn a plane left will turn you right), this is because your puttin the weight over the outside ski! the other easy way is to imagine that ur ribcage is an accordian, simply compress the outside of the accordian (ie lean to the left) and you will turn right! ps if ur using the aeroplane lethod then as stupid as you will look at first, actually make the wings with ur arms (helps teach balance and also means ur body is forced into the correct position)!
