好眼力啊,能看出其中门道的必是资深野雪玩家或滑雪登山者。看似K腿,其实--
这是野雪陡坡上转弯的“必杀技”之一。诚如附图作者所言:
Making Turns on the Steep Slopes
There are three key principles you need to use when skiing the steep slopes. First you need a strong confident stance at the beginning of each turn. Second as you turn keep your body weighted forward down the mountain. Lastly make your turns quick.
To have a confidant stance position your skis across the hill with your weight on the downhill ski. Your upper body (head, shoulders and hips) should be facing downhill. Your hands will reach downhill with the downhill pole planted in the snow.
Don’t let the steep angle intimidate you. Some people lean back to feel closer to the hill behind them. This will put your weight back which can lead to falling. While skiing the steep slopes, keep your body perpendicular to the slope angle and extend down the mountain.
The time it takes to make you turn is critical, you don’t want your skis pointing straight down the hill for too long because that is when your speed accelerates the most. Acceleration ends when your skis are across the side of the hill. While on a long section you may need to stop after several turns to take a break and catch your breath.
