Taking selfies is really educational. You notice things when you look at them. Wow, really. My hips turn, so my skis look like telemark turns. If one side of my hips moves forward, the other side will move backwards. Traditionally, there have been people who have explained telemark turns using words like "front and back difference of the foot" or "front and back of the foot are reversed from alpine skiing." I think that's the image they have. On the other hand, I don't care about the front and back difference or the reverse of alpine skiing, I'm of the opinion that it's simply like that because the hips turn. Because it turns, the outer ski moves in the X-axis direction. Just like a knife, this is what makes a blade "sharp." It will continue to be sharp as long as it keeps moving or moving. In other words, it will continue to be sharp as long as the hips, which are the source, keep turning. So, are you turning your hips? The answer is no. Your hips are being turned. ...by what? By the movement of the other inner leg (the leg on the mountain side). If you move this in a certain way and in a certain direction, your hips will start to rotate beautifully. By the way, this is only for hard slopes or groomed snow. It may look like you are turning because you are rotating, but as I have said before, the inside leg only serves to brake. On the other hand, in the case of powder or in an environment with thick snow, you brake vertically, which means you sink your skis down, so your hips do not rotate horizontally very much. So you can keep on powdering and smoothly descend the moguls as if you were skiing straight down. This is the method I advocate, B-tele. Even if I change my equipment from telemark to NTN, BC cross-country, or EXPLORE, the way I ski is the same, right? Also, there is nothing special about changing the environment from a slope to a mountain. My YouTube videos prove this. Please come and listen to me while I am an instructor. December 10, 2024 P.S.: By the way, if you consciously rotate your hips, it is called rotation. It is a basic concept, but it is foolish to directly move your core body. The reason is shown in the diagram below（See the Ski column for explanations）. I think that skilled people use a technique such as "using the joints at the end as a switch to move the core body."
