Ski Walker Tethered


Shows how to maneuver the snow walker using a tether.

If the skier is changing direction, left and right there has to be a change
in the edges. So, it's the job of the tetherer to balance the skiers' rotation and tip.

If the skier makes no effort except to stand up, turning in this fashion forces an edge change and they have to adjust their weight each time they come around. Do this in repetition, smoothly going from turn to turn and you build a rhythm where the person anticipates the next turn and automatically adjusts their weight for the change to come.

TIPS:
Keep your hands wide when you wrap line.

The resistance (direction of pull) will be in line with the fall line.
STAY ABOVE THE SKIER
