Study Notes

Early Weight Transfer

Early weight transfer happens at the apex of the previous turn.
The goal is to transfer weight to the new ski by lifting and placing the uphill ski onto the edge.
The downhill ski should retract underneath the body, making the leg soft and compact.
Aim for a 75% score on the Carv app for improved edge angle.
An average skier scores around 40-50%.

Early Edging

This metric measures the rate of edge angle increase in the first 20% of the turn.
A higher score indicates a faster, more efficient roll onto the edge.
To improve early edging, drop the inside hip toward the ground, which will lengthen the outside leg.
Focus on a smooth transition from the release of the previous turn to engagement of the edge in the new turn.
A high-level skier will score 75% and above, while an average skier averages around 50%.
This metric is important to help you develop a high edge angle later into the turn.
