In this instructional segment, Tom Gellie points out that skiers often miss a subtle but essential movement when trying to copy Mikaela Shiffrin’s Stivet turn at Sölden. The key is a change in direction that opens the turn’s shape as the ski’s grip increases. Gellie demonstrates where this movement occurs, notes that Shiffrin repeats it later in the turn (though it’s harder to see), and highlights the angle that makes the opening visible. The focus is on recognizing and reproducing this nuanced directional shift to improve turn execution.
