To maximize energy gain, the skier should lengthen the outside leg during the high-pressure phase as soon as possible after the gate (pumping). This allows them both, maintain a higher line and increase speed without relying solely on the slope’s steepness. In the completion phase, we should start thinking about how we want the next turn to be. We shorten the outside leg to release the generated pressure and take advantage of the momentum to propel the center of mass (CoM) into the next turn. We could simultaneously lengthen the inside leg, raising the CoM (cross-over), or conversely, shorten it as well, keeping the CoM low (cross-under). The first option usually results in a greater ski reaction and a loss of contact with the snow, while the second allows us to maintain contact and work the turn from above.
