Ski Tricks

Kinked Rail:

Come into the take off with the rail centered between your legs. When you hit the lip, jump a bit and turn your skis 90 degrees to the rail.

As you start sliding, you want your feet totally flat on the rail so that your base is sliding on the metal. Stay focused on the end of the rail.

As you come to the first kink, shift your weight slightly forward down the rail, so that your base is still flat on the rail. To do the move keep your upper body, along with your knees and ankles angled down the hill at the transition.

At the end of the kink you need to move your weight back with the angle of the rail. This is so you’re ready to slide on the flat section again, keeping your bases flat, and still looking at the end of the rail. Make sure your weight is centered over your skis.

At the end of the rail you can just ride it out, or try to come off it switch for extra style points
