Variable Conditions

Stay in balance when skiing chopped up powder. Going from deep snow, to tracked out snow, and back to deep snow causes our skis to rapidly accelerate and decelerate, throwing us out of balance. By flexing our ankles, knees and hips proportionately we keep our center of mass over our feet. This helps us stay in balance.

Have a buddy check to see if the lean in your back is the same in your shins. This will be a clue to see if you are proportionately flexed.
