Last updated 2026-09-24 — The principle of not letting the center of gravity lag behind may sound simple, but doing it well is hard! At its core, not letting the center of gravity lag is about maintaining balance — the balance between your center of gravity and the contact point of your skis. However, skiing is a dynamic process. The fall line curves, the slope is uneven, there may be small moguls, and so on. Even if you achieve temporary balance, it can quickly be disrupted. So the most important thing is...
    The principle of not letting the center of gravity lag behind may sound simple, but doing it well is hard! At its core, not letting the center of gravity lag is about maintaining balance —the balance between your center of gravity and the contact point of your skis. However, skiing is a dynamic process. The fall line curves, the slope is uneven, there may be small moguls, and so on. Even if you achieve temporary balance, it can quickly be disrupted, so the most important thing is to constantly turn imbalance into balance — that is, to regain balance.
    There are two possible approaches: 1. Adjust your center of gravity to maintain the correct position relative to the ski contact point; 2. Adjust the ski contact point to accommodate your center of gravity. Which method is better? Which is easier? Of course, the second one. Has your center of gravity lagged behind? Just slow down your leg movements a bit. Isn’t adjusting your legs and feet much easier than adjusting your center of gravity?
    Just my humble opinion — looking forward to feedback.
