How do you know if your alignment needs to be assessed?
Practice a straight run in easy terrain and try balancing on one ski (see figure 1 & 2), ride on it for 10-15 yards and then try to stand and balance on the other ski and ride it for 10-15 yards. What happens when you try this? First, can you balance on one ski? Can you balance and slide with minimal upper or lower body compensation? Does your ski track straight or does it veer one direction or another? If you are having difficulty with this exercise it may be your anatomical alignment keeping you off balance!
