Level 2
ALPINE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES
Individual activities: Manage each of the Technical Fundamentals as prescribed.
Description:
A series of linked large radius turns made while continuously stepping from ski to ski.
Terrain:
Green or gentle Blue terrain/Groomed snow
Ski Performance:
- Stepping occurs while the skis are on their edges leaving narrow tracks in the snow
- Lifted ski is parallel to the snow
- After the initial diverging step into a turn, the skis are mostly parallel to each other with minimal diverging
- Stepping continues through the edge change.
Body Performance:
- The Center of Mass remains over the BoS.
- Coordinate the flexion and extension of the joints to balance over weighted foot
- Flex/extend legs independently of each other to transfer weight from foot to foot
Fundamental Focus:
Control pressure from ski to ski and direct pressure toward the outside ski and/or Control the relationship of the Center of Mass to the Base of Support to direct pressure along the length of the skis
