[damitchman]

good tip, spot on, though could be explained better and easier if he showed you. I thnk more people would get this then, for those that want to learn it. go get a lesson with a park qualified instructor, they should be able to show you this and so much more.

when i try this im just turning the way im staggering... anyone have any tips?

[qewremillio]

try again.

[KEYSTONEfreeski970]

i dont know how you could ride switch any other way. thats like the only way to do it.

[K2Tanner]

some people do just ride switch standing like pencils with their heads turned a little. Usually non-park skiers that see kids skiing switch.

[BRECKsteezeMONKEY970]

true, but if you know how to ski you know you have to stagger your skis to turn, same technique applys to skiing switch.

[marky81mark]

actually lead change is a result of two pivot points... ie at your hip socket. it happens due to turning with the lower body... separation is created. in switch you make a bigger lead change, so its easier to see where you're going

[proximateXplatypus]

cool beans, I never thought to stagger switch. I'm trying this tomorrow

[espcsg]

thx for the great tip. It works.

[breathead]

It would have been great to see a demonstration of the technique in action, as explained.
