All aspiring Tele skiers should know and practice the Hybrid Turn..Mix and match parallel and Tele.. Eventually it teaches you that in the vast majority of situations, it's pointless to stagger your Tele turn initiation..It also makes it easier to feel a properly weighted rear ski because all you need to do is move/shuffle the rear into place.. No real need to move the lead ski much at all; effectively it makes- or can make-- the lead-change less destabilizing.. When you seem to have lost it, go to a blue slope and revert to Wedge-Tele/Step-Tele/Christy-Tele -- Hybrid Tele -- Full Tele.

Mark: "It's also called staggered tele-turning because you move out of tele and then initiate in alpine and then do your lead change (1/2) as opposed to just changing edges without changing leads and then initiating the turn. If you followed any tele skier around for long enough, there's 0 doubt you would see him/her doing a hybrid turn. Oh the SHAME!!!"

A good demo of wedge-christy-parallel Tele.. Seems a bit too spread at times, but WTVR..

The Step-Tele.. There's a line that blurs between the Step the Christy and the Wedge Tele.. Does it matter whether you step or slide the skis? Maybe, maybe not.. Stepping can happen faster than sliding and stepping can be quickly more positive in edge set and also getting the trailing ski into full parallel position and weighting it forcefully as well..

Full wedge ending in Tele position. Other than as a way to get started, I don't see a lot of value in it..He steps both skis, but the second step is way way delayed to the end of the turn.

Another kind of Hybrid: staggered jumping or stepping sometimes with double-pole assist..

Finally, he reaches the point where conditions and gear suggest he stop with Tele altogether..Instead he just jumps the inside ski doing "alpine" turns..

Teaching the wedge-tele, the skier is actually doing far more of a Christy-tele though the narrator keeps yammering on about dropping into the tele at the end of the traverse which is almost pointless.

These guys have their own opinions (as always) but here's a fine example of the classic hybrid alpine/tele..

I think you heard him wrong AT: he actually says to move into the wedge at the end of the traverse..and then he says to drop into a tele AFTER crossing the fall-line..Of course you can drop in earlier but in a wedge you are kind of never straight in the fall-line to start with..
Here's some great Tele 2-step, first delayed ski hopping and then the 2-step which sort of shows how those 2 methods are really related. Andora says it's Level2 training..

It's sometimes impossible to tell a christy from a step. Lo-fi calls this a wedge, and there is a wedge but if you watch, he's really stepping into a wedge and sliding/pivoting/stepping out of it.  |

Skis that pivot easily can be really fun, but you can step or Christy most any ski. I would guess those Koms would be more stable in a longer length. They are wobbling under him quite a bit.

Classic example of wedge-Tele-initiation - every single turn..

That's not Downhill technique it's beginner learning skiing, you're comparing apples oranges and pineapples.
