Your lesson will help you to learn and coordinate the actions of the feet in starting and linking parallel turns. It introduces the movements that create a release. An efficient release allows the skis to exit one turn and smoothly enter the new turn, linking the turns rhythmically, and eliminating the need for a wedge to start the turn. The garland format allows you to practice the movements of the start and finish of turns without actually linking turns, thus avoiding the potential of picking up speed in the fall line.
