PSIA Perspective: Slip Turns Are Pivotal In The Bumps
Print This PageThe words "bump skiing" can conjure up images of skiers barreling down a slope with their feet and legs locked together, knees pumping up and down at the speed of light, and turns that seem to be mere deflections. It doesn't have to be that way though. Any intermediate skier with the ability to switch balance from foot to foot and enough skill to tip and turn the skis can have fun in the bumps. The key lies in using a "pivot-slip" turn to control speed and change direction.
Read more about this technique in the article Slip Turns Are Pivotal In The Bumps by Rob Sogard - a former member of the PSIA Alpine Demonstration team. The article was originally published in the PSIA magazine - The Professional Skier.
