The Pole Plant Myth
The pole plant doesn't turn the skis — it prepares the next movement. Small change, huge difference.
Many skiers believe the pole plant turns the skis.
It doesn't.
A good pole plant improves rhythm, timing and commitment into the next turn.
Think of it as preparing the next movement rather than creating the current one.
Small improvement. Huge difference.
