White Pass Lean
White Pass Lean
“White Pass Lean” was a term created to identify a spontaneous recovery move made by American ski racer Steve Mahre, while competing in a World Cup Slalom race in the 1980’s. It involves finishing a turn balanced on the outside ski, and beginning the next turn balanced on that same ski.
Soon after Steve’s creative recovery was seen, the move was named and made into a balance training drill. The drill remains, still today, a popular training tool across the world of ski instruction.
