FROM SNOW PLOUGH TO CARVING –

SAME MOVEMENTS BUT DIFFERENT FORM AND SPEED

CONTENT

Same Keypoints from snow plough to carving

Discussion & Questions

INTRO

IDEA BEHIND USING SAME KEYPOINTS FROM BEGINNER TO EXPERT

BENEFITS

∙ simple and understandable

∙ learning the movement once

∙ faster progression from snow plough to carved turns

∙ Building on previously automated movements

EASIER FOR LEARNER AND TEACHER

SAME KEYPOINTS FROM SNOW PLOUGH TO CARVING

THE KEYPOINTS ARE BASED ON OUR TECHNICAL MODEL

KEYPOINTS

1. Independent flexion / extension of the legs

2. Center of mass always in motion

3. Upper body orientation

INITIATION

INITIATION

∙ Independent flexion / extension of the legs

∙ Center of mass shift up, forward & downhill

∙ Slight pre-orientation of the shoulders and hips

INITIATION Independent flexion

/ extension

INITIATION Center of mass

The distance between the center of mass and the snow gets bigger, without fully extending the legs.

The center of mass shifts diagonally across the skis

PHASE 1

PHASE 1

∙ Dosed and progressive continuation of the initiated movement

∙ Let the skis turn gently in the fall-line

PHASE 2

PHASE 2

∙ Upper body orientation

→ Upper body faces always slightly downhill

∙

Edge angle increases

→ Through progressive angulation in the knee / hips and lowering the center of mass, the edging is increased

PHASE

2

Upper body orientation

PHASE

2

Upper body orientation

∙ Snow plough

∙ Skidded Parallel turn

∙ Carving turn

∙ Short Turn

PHASE

2 Edge angle increases

PHASE

2 Edge angle increases

KEYPOINT ADAPTATION TO THE CURRENT SITUATION

Possible impacts on keypoints:

∙ the form (Carving, Snow Plough, etc.)

∙ the terrain

∙ the speed

∙ the external forces

Keypoint adaptations:

∙ Movement speed

∙ Range of movement

→ Center of mass displacement

∙ body tension
