BASI Level 3 Seasonal Training Week 2, 2011 Courchevel

Late edge set is easier on the muscles b/c the strain is for short bursts so it's for lazier skiers or those getting tired. I can't say these folks were doing much of that. At level 3 I wanted to see them go after the moguls and crud at 1:30 instead of the perfect groomer. That's where zipmanify's early edge pays off. Stance is a bit wide but keeping a little weight on that uphill ski provides insurance when the ice shows up or you've got a lot of horsepower under the hood and laying it hot.

We like the cowboy stance- it promotes the dynamic stance needed for high level/Dynamic skiing. We also love to see the development of the less experienced candidates. The process of Skiing Better in action!

Not a model of skiing I would like to follow. Just a lot of late edge set, wind shield wiper turns with a cowboy wide stance. Yuck.
