In this brief technical commentary, Tom Gellie points out a subtle but essential movement that many skiers overlook when trying to emulate Mikaela Shiffrin’s Stivet turn at Sölden. He highlights how the skier opens up the turn shape precisely as the ski’s grip increases, a change in direction that is difficult to see but critical for executing the turn correctly. Gellie emphasizes that this nuanced adjustment repeats on the same turn and is a key detail for athletes aiming to replicate the technique.
