Deb Armstrong is an icon of American skiing, both as a gold-winning Olympian and a former PSIA Alpine team member. Today she uses her YouTube channel to share information and knowledge surrounding the sport, discussing different things that can improve your skiing ability and introducing us to different concepts in movement on the slopes.
In this video, Deb discusses how the hips should be used while skiing, and how they can move independently from both the upper body and lower body.
“In this ski session Deb makes the case for the hips moving independent of the upper body and lower body. Hip positioning can be the answer in taking your skiing to the next level. Proprioception help us to understand where our hands and feet are in space but its difficult understanding where the hips are.“
