THE STANDING OUTRIGGER CHRISTIE

The standing outrigger christie is a fun turn and good edge control exercise. From the straight glide position (Photo 1), lean in the direction of the turn with all the weight on the inside ski. As the turn starts, raise the outside ski and christie on the inside ski (Photo 2). To link the next turn, place the outside ski back on the snow and start to lean in the direction of the new turn (Photo 3).

Place all the weight on the new inside ski and raise the outside ski as shown in Photo 4. Christie on the inside ski as shown in Photo 5. Return to the straight glide position (Photo 6) for the next turn.
