PSIA Fundamental 3

PSIA Fundamental 3

This is meant to help auditory learners memorize the 5 PSIA Fundaments

Fundamentals 3- Regulate the magnitude of pressure created through ski/snow interaction. (moguls)

—-x—-

5 Fundamentals
1- Control the relationship of the Center of Mass (COM) to the base of support (BOS) to direct pressure along the length of the skis. (fore-aft pressure)
2- Control pressure from ski to ski and direct pressure toward the outside ski. (side to side pressure)
3- Regulate the magnitude of pressure created through ski/snow interaction. (moguls)
4- Control edge angles through a combination of inclination and angulation.
5- Control the skis rotation (turning, pivoting, steering) with leg rotation, separate from the upper body. (aim apex of next turn)
