Carving ski techniques, video four: one-legged skiing
This might sound like a crazy idea, but a terrific way to improve your control is by skiing on one leg. And not just on your stronger leg: your weaker one, too.
The first thing you’ll discover is that it’s harder to turn in one direction than the other. When you are turning in such a way that the leg you are skiing on is the outside leg of the turn, it all feels relatively easy.
But when that leg makes the next turn, and becomes the inside ski, you’ll find it a lot more difficult to balance and steer through the turn. You’ll need to work a lot harder; but persevere, because it’ll do wonders for your technique.
