22 Teaching Logs Look at the sample log below. Be brief but thorough in your lesson review. Your log should: Date Guest Age Group Experience Zone Hours 1/1/10 2 Adult Advanced 4 Describe your student basic movements/skills: They had pushy/twisty turns without much shaping. They Describe your students important strength(s): They were experienced at what they did Describe the lesson goal for the student(s): Make rounder turns that will work in deeper snow. Learn to guide their skis through a round path with their feet and legs that her than push and twist their bodies to make turns. Describe your lesson: This was a married couple who is planning a trip to the mountains. They wanted to learn how to ski powder. There was not any powder to work with but there was some crud available to work with. I had them ski a couple of runs so I could watch their skiing. It was obvious they had skied a lot, but they tended to crud, the powder would become much easier. We spend the time learning to aim the skis with out feet through a path, rather than just trying to twist them (aim the tips with the toes). We also played with how to feather the edges of the skis to soften the turn off trail.
23 THE SKILLS CONCEPTS SKIING SKILL: LEADS TO: Edging Movements: Rotary Movements: Pressure Control Movements: Aiding in adjusting the edge angle of the skis in relation to the snow. Turning and guiding the skis. Managing and manipulating pressure variations between the skis and the snow. SKIING PRINCIPLES the turn path ahead.
24 MOVEMENT POOLS and BLENDS SKIING PRINCIPLES continued Adjusting Stance Flexing and Extending Moving Foot to Foot Weight re-distribution ranges from deliberate stepping onto the new outside supporting foot to a subtle blend moving from outside, through two feet, to the new outside foot.
25 Tipping the Feet and Legs SKIING PRINCIPLES continued edges. Shoulders are level, or level out through the turn. Twisting the Feet and Legs movements of the legs. Inside half of the body leads through the turn. * Skiing Principles are adapted from the skills concept developed by the Professional Ski Instructors of America, used with permission.

28 Professional Ski Instructors of America - VISUAL CUES of EFFECTIVE SKIING BALANCE & STANCE (EFFECTIVE SKIING) EDGING MOVEMENTS (EFFECTIVE SKIING) The edges are released and re-engaged in one smooth movement. Both skis tip the same amount early in the turn, with the strongest angles developing in or near the fall line. edge-angle adjustments ROTARY MOVEMENTS (EFFECTIVE SKIING) Rotary movements involve turning some part of the body relative to other parts. Combined with other skills, rotary movements allow PRESSURE CONTROL MOVEMENTS (EFFECTIVE SKIING) The skis bend progressively throughout the turn, with the entire length engaged. Pressure adjustments during the turn will alter the timing, intensity, and amount of pressure redistributed along the skis and from foot to foot. DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENTS (EFFECTIVE SKIING) The ankles, knees, and hips roll forward and laterally to move into the new turn.
29 Professional Ski Instructors of America - VISUAL CUES of INEFFECTIVE SKIING BALANCE AND STANCE (INEFFECTIVE SKIING) The upper body is tipped to the inside throughout the turn. The inside ski bends more than the outside ski. EDGING MOVEMENTS (INEFFECTIVE SKIING) PRESSURE CONTROL MOVEMENTS (INEFFECTIVE SKIING) ROTARY MOVEMENTS (INEFFECTIVE SKIING) One ski stems or steps to begin the turn. DIRECTIONAL MOVEMENTS (INEFFECTIVE SKIING) The skis pivot or skid as the move through the turn. Used with permission.
