A2 to C1: Experienced skiers on the ski simulator for the first time
How do you learn control and balance on the roller track?
In this video, we take you from the basics to skiing snowplow turns, with clear explanations and exercises:
Starting safely: Stand firmly on your feet, ankles bent, knees forward, fold your hips slightly, tighten your abdominal muscles, and extend your arms forward.
TIP: Look in the mirror!
The track turns on and rolls beneath you; you may still hold onto the tube.
Balance and movement: Bend and straighten your ankles to increase your stability.
Sliding and braking: Learn how to spread your heels apart to brake in a controlled manner and glide again.
Weight and direction: Discover how shifting your weight determines which direction you go.
Practicing snowplow turns: Ski back and forth by using the "master of the turn" and rotating your skis properly.
Level transitions: From snowplow gliding (B2) to snowplow turns (C1) and beyond. Watch the video and discover how to build technique and control, step by step, to ski down the slope smoothly!
