SHOULDERS DOWN THE HILL!
This is one of the most common tips given for skiers building confidence with their short turns and bumps skiing!

When done correctly, it can be extremely useful.
However, when misinterpreted and executed poorly, you are opening yourself up to a whole new set of challenges, likely to send you backwards instead of forwards...

We met up with Level 4 BASI Examiner Tom Waddington and asked him to break this tip down and stop any confusion associated with this Tip.
Specifically, Tom takes a detailed look at where exactly upper-lower body separation should happen and pointed out some of the common misconceptions/examples of poor/bad separation.
To help you improve on your next ski trip, Tom suggests a good drill with a few variations, so you can start to get a feeling for better leg rotation and better separation.
