Arc to Arc

This is linking carved turns together with absolutely no pivoting, pushing, steering or twisting of the skis downhill during the transition between turns.  To end one turn and begin the next, the skis are simply tipped off their uphill edges, then onto their downhill edges.  When done properly, two cleanly carved sets of tracks are left behind, joined together by a moment when the skis were flat on the snow.

Snow showing pencil thin curved tracks, then a flat section one ski long, and then pencil thin curved tracks in the other direction. Heading is “The Transition”. Markings show old and new turn, and direction of travel and edge change.
