Olympian Deb Armstrong Explains Unlocking Ankles In Skiing

The difference between an intermediate skier and an advanced skier can often be ankle activity, with less experienced skiers failing to use their ankles as necessary on the mountain. If you think that might be you, this video from gold-winning Olympic skier and former PSIA Alpine team member Deb Armstrong explains the proper fore-aft movement inside the boot for top skiers.

Moving between positions 1 through 5, as explained in the video, helps to create more energy and rebound through the turns while enabling smoother, more dynamic transitions. Plus, when a skier really masters the ankle movement, it looks pretty incredible.
