I am practicing White Pass Turns now. It's a good drill to increase a skier's balance and the commitment of initiation a new turn.

Ok, what is White Pass Turn, and how does it increase a skier's balance and help to commit a new turn?

In short, it's one-foot skiing on inside ski.
P.S., One-foot skiing on outside ski is much easier.

看不是很了，但後面的描述跟我的方法很像耶。

就是能很容易簡單在入彎前先建立高平衡來引導輕鬆進入新彎的開始。

如是的話，那得恭喜您啦，這可是很多想達到又達不到的第一步呢。 nion (47):

Yes, one-footed skiing on inside ski requires a better balance, so it is a better skill a step up from one-footed skiing on outside ski, congrats. When you become better, try "inside ski turn," (it is same as white pass turn except without lifting another foot/ski, i.e. two-feeted skiing) i.e. left foot/ski heavy to turn left and right foot heavy to turn right, just like we walking, a better and efficient turn on the groomed runs than conventional "outside ski turn." That's another step up from the white pass turn.

Have fun, :)

Well ... actually, it's the other way around. Skiing on two feet with more weight on inside ski is easier than that on one foot only. That's how I practice to get into the one-foot skiing. The one-foot skiing requires stronger balance, and it generates more power to turn. (I should not say "more power to turn", but it's about more commitment to the turn.)

看了您的再一次的解釋，真的很像我體會到的一種方式及感覺，當能進入這種方式後，後面的技術進步會有很大的轉變，也會發現到以前那麼難練，或以為練會的東西，都會產生新的見解出來。

最後就是，原來滑雪真的可以這麼簡單又輕鬆，而且樂趣會爽度會加倍。

這個並不是說您的方法跟我很像，而只是想說對這個橫越重心變化的技術，當能體會及使出這種強而有力C彎時，對技術的見解會是已經不是一般層次了。:laf (13):

Yes, Inside Ski Turns are easier than the White Pass Turns, that's why I suggested. Two-legged skiing is always stronger than one-legged skiing. While White Pass Turns are only a drill, Inside Ski Turns are a real technique that you can ski all the mountains with. I don't practice drills, so I don't have to adapt the drills to my real skiing, and some drills are so ackward, the time you spend on the drills you would have learn the real thing already. (You don't need the White Pass Turns to help you to commit to turn, all you have to do is to commit it.)
