Control your speed

The essence of ski mastery is to be able to control your speed regardless of terrain. To control your speed you must know how to control your edges. As you start a new turn you release the uphill edges and flatten both skis. Once the skis are flat, use the "lift and tilt" (Step 1) to begin the new turn. Balance and stand on the entire foot of the stance (outside) leg as that ski tips on edge. When you are on the edge of the ski you have a platform under the foot. Maintain your balance and ride the ski completely through the turn.
