L2 activity 6: Falling leaf
Individual · blue · skis across the hill, sideslipping; small fore/aft shifts move you forward and back within a two-groomer corridor, always on the same downhill ski. Then repeat facing the other way. Switch to the mistake to see the shoulders twisting to steer. Drag the large view to orbit.

What the examiner looks for
Passing · Skis across the hill, sideslipping; small fore/aft shifts move you forward and back within a two-groomer corridor; same downhill ski; repeat facing the other way.
Cue · “Toes, slip, heels.”
Key movement · Ankle and hip flexing fore and aft while the chest stays facing downhill. Watch fore-aft and the pelvis / chest numbers: the chest barely changes.
Lead-ups · Straight sideslip; sideslip to a stop on the edges.
Mistake · Twisting the shoulders to steer: the chest swings round with the tips and tails, the skis turn too far and the corridor widens.
Fix · Chest faces down the hill; move only from the ankles and hips.
A simplified, illustrative model: skis across the hill, sideslipping on small uphill edges. In the right way, moving forward lets the tips drift down and the skier slips forward; moving back lets the tails drift down and the skier slips backward, with the chest facing downhill throughout. In the mistake the chest and shoulders twist back and forth, the skis turn further and travel further. Angles, loads and efforts follow the shape of real technique but are not measured data.
