The Ball
The Ball is intended to give you an image of how a tipping ski creates a tight parallel turn. Don't try this at home. If you tip and tuck, you keep the ball. If your initial move for a turn comes from the top ski, you lose the ball. This, of course, is true for anyone who stems. The skier's flu will cause the ball to drop. |

The Box
The box gives us an image of the dance floor "stage" for great all-mountain skiing. You'll notice the dance floor is quite small. If you pay attention to a great skier's feet when they're skiing a great run, you'll notice neither foot will fall off this small "stage". The good news is that the technique of great skiing is not a polka or a two-step and therefore can't be that hard to learn. Of course if you stem, you fall off the "stage". |
