"H.W. Stockman" wrote My right foot still doesn't always move as predicted, so I've learned to use my left foot to lead in many tight situations. Now I have to do the same thing with skiing motions, particularly the fast motions in turns. I'll find a way. Be aware that you can turn either direction from a telemark position. We think of the turn as being away from the lead ski, but if you've got the edges working right you can turn toward the lead ski as well. I had one clinic instructor who telemarked trees, linking tight turns, without changing leads. He said it was quicker to turn against the lead than to change leads. [For him maybe -- I only do that out on wide open slopes as a way of practicing edge control.] Tommy T. |
