Upper body posture
The posture of the upper body determines the position of the center of gravity of the entire body
1. The upper back is slightly curved, and the shoulders should exceed the front of the ski boots
2. Don’t open your arms too much and let them hang naturally
3. The wrists should be kept in front of the body, not too high or too low, and adjusted according to the speed of skiing
4. In order to prevent the snowboard from tilting forward, it is necessary to prevent the upper body from leaning backward
5. There should be a strong feeling in the lower abdomen
6. The shoulders need to be higher than the toes
Lower body posture
1. Lean your calves forward and exert force on the snowshoes
2. Prevent the hips from leaning backward and dragging the center of gravity of the body back. Maintain a forward leaning posture
3. When turning, apply force on both feet at the same time in the direction of the turn, and keep staggering forward and backward
Observation points
Fall line: Always pay attention to the fall line Changes, always be aware of the existence of the fall line. Focus on your own ski boots as the center and a radius of 1 meter. Think carefully and predict.
Safety
Fall: Squat down naturally and move toward the sides of the body. If you fall sideways, you should fall sideways uphill on the slope. It is forbidden to support the ground with your hands, and it is forbidden to put the snow pole rope on your hands. Do not struggle, slide naturally, and do not roll.
Get up: Place the skis parallel down the mountain, perpendicular to the direction of the fall line, support with both hands
Walking practice
Use your thighs to drive your calves, and then your calves and feet Drive the skis forward. Through such practice, you will realize the direct feeling between the person and the skis, and the snowboards against the snow?
Lateral climbing
The skis are parallel and perpendicular to the rolling To fall off the line, alternately use the outside edge of the uphill board and the inside edge of the downhill board to cut into the snow
Figure 8 climbing (not important)
Both boards should face the fall line upwards. In the shape of an outer figure, climb facing up, hold the stick with both hands, and click behind you alternately
Plow brake
The center of gravity of the body is on the inside of the front foot, and you cannot sit back. The tail of the board is opened in a V shape. The weight of the body is evenly distributed on the two snowboards, and the knees and ankle joints are slightly internally rotated so that the inner edges of the two snowboards stand up and carve into the snow surface, forming a wedge and embedded in the snow surface, increasing the resistance and decelerating to a stop.
Plow-style sudden braking (2019 key exercises)
Strengthen the leg kick while sharpening the edge
Plow-style turning
Snow to one side Move the center of gravity of the board (or increase the edge of one side of the snowboard, strengthen the turning force of one leg, or move the center of gravity and edge at the same time, changing the angle of attack of the snowboard)
Half-plow turn (2019 Key exercises)
Experience how to use your feet or legs to switch your center of gravity!
Move the center of gravity to one side of the snowboard (or increase the edge of one side of the snowboard, strengthen the turning force of the leg on one side, or move the center of gravity and edge at the same time to change the angle of attack of the snowboard), and the other side One leg (that is, the mountain leg during the turn) is externally rotated and the board is parallel to the board.
Open-close-open-close
Switch the center of gravity! Switch focus! Switch focus!
Parallel plank (2020-2022 key exercises)
Key points:
1. Do not rely on the plow to lower the center of gravity, but rely on the free rotation of the body (complete rotation (It has nothing to do with the feet) to achieve free steering
2. Bend both knees toward the mountain at the same time and rotate the body slightly to tilt the snowboard (but do not bring the knees together)
3. Double board Keep the tilt angle consistent
4. The center of gravity is on the downhill leg (the force distribution between the uphill leg and the downhill leg is about 3:7, 30% for the uphill leg and 70% for the downhill leg. After the center of gravity movement is completed, start tapping the stick )
5. Tilt the body down the mountain (can be perpendicular to the slope)
6. Immediately after turning, go down the mountain and carve the snow inside the single board (this can also be done when the slope is steep or it is difficult to turn) Make a slight movement of lifting the foot on the mountain to reduce the contact area with the snow surface, that is, reduce the power. At the same time, after lifting the board, the position of the board on the mountain can be quickly adjusted to be parallel to the board on the mountain)
7 , At the end of the previous turning action and when the next turning point is reached, the ankle joints should feel solid and solid, and the body should be in an upright state
8. The center needs to be switched in time on steep slopes. Just straighten your legs again and the tendency to turn to the left will slowly weaken, then return to the straight downward position, and then bend the knees to the right. You must stand straight with your legs and return your center of gravity to the center before you can bend your knees to the other side. Otherwise, you cannot switch your center of gravity.
Summary: Stand upright → Bend your knees to the left (bend your body) → Stand upright → Bend your knees to the right (bend your body) → Stand upright, and repeat these actions.

Horizontal downhill (key practice in 2022)
Learning venue: Down a steep slope
Use the bottom of the board to contact the snow surface, face down the mountain, and twist the snowboard 90 degrees to the direction of your body. Don’t follow the head of the board with your body. Most beginners can’t twist their bodies. Practice slowly until you practice. When the body is facing down the mountain, the snowboard slides down the mountain at a 90-degree angle
Advanced techniques for downhill sliding (key practice in 2023)
Press down on the nose of the board to slide down the mountain and press on the tail of the board to slide down the mountain. After you become proficient in ordinary cross-country skiing exercises, you can try to apply pressure on the nose and tail of the board respectively to create a foundation for different slope angles in different terrains of wild snow.
