If you want to make a shorter turn you will need to create a much bigger steering angle. This means the skis are turning much more against the direction of travel resulting in a lot more separation of the upper body...But what is "direction of travel"? It's essentially the way your COM is directed as opposed to the direction your ski tips point. Simply put, direction of travel is basically the way you are facing from the hips up..Like my good friend Sally/Sara here demonstrates beautifully!

Another great short video showing the same thing as above. It ain't rocket science no matter what some old bastard might try and make you think! But how much upper from lower body separation do you need? The biggest factor is the size of turn you want to achieve. If you turn the legs only a small amount, you will create a long turn. If you want to make a shorter turn you will need to create a much bigger steering angle. This means the skis are turning much more against the direction of travel resulting in a lot more separation of the upper body. The other factor is how much speed do you want to scrub or need to scrub? The faster you MUST turn for whatever reasons, the more you have to counter your lower body to your upper. It's not all that much different from turning on a bike or in a car in respect to the braking or slowing aspects or the ability to maintain speed.

Another great, simple vid..Excellent! My bias is of course to short radius turns because I would rather be off skiing in the bush than anywhere else!

Skidding the steeps with some great counter! What REAL ski instructors should and do do: make helpful, informative videos!

Stumbled on this..The infamous Telehiro giving some low-intermediates a lesson in Tele-on-the-steeps..Not all that steep and really packed and settled slopes.But it's amusing..lots of counter..
