PLAYING WITH THE EDGE ANGLES

Recently, I decided to focus on RELEASING the edges between the turns and I came to the conclusion that this release action resulted from increasing the edge angle on the snow.

In fact, by increasing the edge angle in a dynamic way, I can release the edges effortlessly. However, in order to achieve this, I need to know how much angle I want to apply before even starting the turn. In addition, I need to maintain the edging action even when the skis have reached their maximum angle.

Edge release must be done with minimum physical effort. Furthermore, it is not only the edges that are released during the transition, but also all the cumulated pressure from the previous turn. The key is to release the edge angle in a long and continuous movement that allows for fluid linking into the next turn while maintaining good rhythm.

Therefore, increasing the edge angle dynamically and releasing them progressively will help you ski like a pro. You will feel that your turns have no beginning nor end, only a continuous, progressive, and relaxed movement.
