Similarly, drop your elbows into your sides and your lower back will be blocked.īOOT SOLE LENGTH - the length of the ski boot (in millimetres) measured along the outer sole and including the lugs that hold the boot into the binding.

Now raise your elbows up as high as they will go and your neck/upper body will be blocked. To feel an example of this effect stand in your skiing 'goal keeper's' position with all the joints flexed and your elbows slightly out as if you are holding poles. A Scottish term for what BASI refer to as Plough-Parallel.īLOCKAGE - or Blocking - When the position of some of the body's joints effectively 'block' or reduce the range of movement of other joints. The art of absorbing Bumps, using the legs but keeping the body still and quiet.ĪVALEMENT TURNS – 'swallowing' the Bumps, so as to assist pivoting.īACK SEAT - The position a skier is in when sitting back, with too much bend in the knees and not enough forward ankle flex.īANKING - Poor use of Inclination to make turns, resulting in the skis not holding an edge during the turn and the skier being unbalanced.īASI - British Association of Snowsport Instructors - A British members' organisation that licenses and provides training for ski instructors.īASIC SWING - see Plough-Parallel Turn. Special ski boots with rigid soles are also used, something of a cross between a downhill ski boot and a hiking boot, light and flexible enough to be comfortable to walk up in, while still being stiff enough to provide good control when skiing down.ĪVALEMENT - A French term (from 'avaler' to swallow). Most AT bindings have DIN safety release, as in a normal alpine binding. A special Alpine Touring binding allows the heel to be clipped down for more support when skiing downhill, and allows it to be released to swing resistance-free from the toe, when climbing. Commonly used to help a skier pivot the skis downhill during the Transition, for the start of the new turn.ĪPEX - The point during a turn at which half of the entire direction change which that turn will produce has been completed.ĪRCING - An American term for perfectly carved turns.ĪRC to ARC Turns – Dynamically skied Carved Turns that are perfectly linked with a smooth Transition.ĪT - Alpine Touring - AT ski equipment is specifically designed for ski-touring in steep terrain. The body faces down the hill, while the skis point across the hill. Angulation allows the skier to remain balanced while setting an edge (putting the ski on edge) – in the absence of Angulation the skier would topple over.ĪNTICIPATION - An exaggerated Counter position used at the end of a turn. This is achieved by bending the body, so that the CoM is inside the turn and the edges are at an angle to the snow, while the body remains in balance. Is typically (but not always) seen as a problem to be eliminated when skiers are using shaped skis, as can be a 'weak' ski position.ĪLPINE SKIING - Also known as downhill skiing, uses skis the bindings of which fix the whole of the ski boot sole to the ski.ĪNGULATION - When there is an angle (laterally) between the legs and the upper body.

Many thanks to Katherine Herzberg for editing.ĪFD - Anti-Friction Device - a small pad located behind the toe-piece of the ski binding.Ī - FRAME - The position that a skier's legs get into when the outside leg's knee collapses into the inner knee during the turn, or when the inner knee is not angulated into the centre of the turn. Here is a little guide to the shorthand skiers sometimes use.
