HOW TO DO IT
Mobile Range Check
Build an available stance instead of a rigid or end-range posture.
Preparation and setting
Level snow, both feet secured and board stationary; comfortable boot fit.
Exercise sequence
- Begin in a supported middle stance.
- Become a little taller without locking knees.
- Become a little lower using ankles, knees and hips together.
- Return to the middle and look along an imagined route.
- Check that further movement remains available in both directions.
Transfer
Repeat the range check at the finish of a glide or sideslip; a posture that works only stationary needs further practice.
Errors addressed
Locked knees; Deep immobile crouch; Excessive hip fold.
Success check
Rider can move taller/lower smoothly without hands on knees, pain or an arm pull.
Simplify when needed
Reduce range or use suitable stationary support; do not force a painful position.
