How to Control Skis

I'm Ivan Madar. I'm a professional ski instructor and I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. Those are the basic principles; wider stance, hands to the side. The next thing is going to be position and angles of my main joints. The joints, again, from the side, would be the ankle (this flexion), your knees, and hips. Now, what is the ideal stance? Again, the ideal stance is when the pressure goes down on your feet rather than going forward or going backward. So, we slightly flex our ankles, push our knees forward and are slightly flexed at our hips with our hands to the side. Now, this is still comfortable here. If you bounce in this position, that is the position in which you will do a lot of the either the beginner or advanced drills in skiing.
