PARALLEL METHOD OF SKIING
Skating Is Useful Maneuver
Frilz Loosli changes direction by skating.
(By Fritz Loosli)
Director of Ski Hawk School
Quebec City
Skating is a maneuver which
l skiers of almost all abilities will
find very beneficial. For the be
ginner it is an exercise to develop
stability and proper sense of bal
ance. Experienced skiers use it
frequently in changing direction
without losing speed or ’o increase
speed if necessary.
The ideal practice terrain for
skating is a gentle, hard packed
slope covered with about one inch
cf powder snow. The powder is
ret necessary, but it is a help
when you are learning; it gives
better traction and eliminates side
The Alaska Crippled Children's
Assn, reports that sixty children
have been cared for at Mt. Edge
cumbe Hospital at Sitka; 12 chil
dren are being cared for at Bob
Roberts Hospital in Chicago, 111.,
and 1 childe is at a Seattle hospi
tal. I
skidding.
The longer and the wider you
can make your strokes the better
it is. You should try, as much as
possible, to imitate the position of
a speed skater, keeping the poles
behind the back with outstretched
arms and bending the body from
the hips slightly more than in a
normal downhill position.
The push off from one stroke to
another is made on the inside edge
of the riding ski. After you land
on the other board try to ride it
flat on the snow until you are
ready to make another stroke.
A half skating step is used if
you wish to change direction or
j come to a stop by skating into the
l raverse of the slope until you
, come to a stop.
Skating on skis is not as diffi
cult as it looks. It is actually easy
to perform after comparatively lit
tle practice, for it is similar to
| the sport from which it takes its
name. There is a thrill in skating
which is quite different from that
derived from regular turns.
If you start a downhill run by
skating, you may use the poles to
give momentum to the first two
or three steps, but at higher speeds
it is preferable to bring the poles
j behind the back.
