The evaluation of each skill is in the IACR system:
Forward, ankle flexion, shin pressure, movement (vertical and over terrain), platform and balance.
Stay in middle of ski in all situations. Creates shin pressure. Ankles and knees working together to keep COM over BOS while moving over terrain.
Ski tips and bindings parallel and upper/lower separation.
Weight the outside ski, platform, angulation and separation, force and turning.
Start rolling the skis on edge with the lowest joint: ankles, knees, hip.
Consistent pole plant: timing, rythm, coordination, balance. Quiet upper body, hands in front, look ahead.
COM moves with the skis throughout the turn
How well the skier is counteracting the turning forces throughout the turn. This gives the appearance of the upper body being stable, in the rotational plane.
