The Last Plateau: Smooth and Steady (Skiing)
Independent Movement

Even when you’ve mastered flexing or extending both legs simultaneously, there’s still one more movement pattern you need to address. As the pitch of the slope, your speed and the forces acting on you increase, your legs need to work independently. With your outside power leg extended far outside your center and your body countered away from the hill, you have to flex your inside leg to keep it under your center and to give yourself a stable platform.
