This year’s breakthrough was the realization that my COM wasn’t crossing over along with transitioning to the new edge leaving me perpetually in the back seat as the terrain got steeper and faster. In the past I’ve worked to improve my transition to the new edge always concentrating on “skiing from the feet up” which I found an appealing touchstone, but seemingly did little to get me out of the backseat. So, here’s my question, why not initiate the new turn by moving my COM (top of hip bones) down fall line instead of my feet, or boots or knees or whatever is lower on the kinetic chain?
