OverviewShort turns! Use PMTS movements to learn the bulletproof short turn and apply it to ungroomed slopes. The Expert Skier 2 video follows the Expert Skier 2 book closely, working on the PMTS technique you need to be a solid skier on ungroomed terrain. It shows you how to build that technique and how to apply it to bumps, powder, and steeps. As well, you'll learn how to really carve - not just edge better, but really lay it over and leave grooves in the snow!StatsPresenter: Harald Harb, 45 minutes, 319 or 747 MB, Standard Definition, Copyright 2001Content*Develop one-footed balance, and balance on big- and little-toe edges*Vary where you keep your balance through release - Super Phantom and Weighted Releases*Manage the free foot to improve lateral and fore/aft balance*Coordinate your upper body with your feet and legs*Technique and tactics for ungroomed conditionsPurpose*To show how simple, effective movements can be used in all conditions to ski with confidence and control*Free foot management makes the skis behave in unison in ungroomed snow*Versatility in balance is necessary for variable conditions*Short-radius turns with edge engagement are necessary for steep, narrow slopes and for mogulsPrerequisitesIn order to get the most benefit from this video, you should already...*Have watched and practiced the activities in Expert Skier 1 DVD*Have watched and practiced the activities in the eVideos Eliminate the Wedge 1 and Eliminate the Wedge 2*Have read the book Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier 2Related books & videos*Anyone Can Be an Expert Skier 1 (book).
