Stance Width
Stance Width
In it's simplest meaning, Stance width refers to how far apart you feet are while skiing. In an Athletic Stance, the feet maintain a separation that allows the skis to rest flat on the snow without having to contort the legs. The specific amount of separation that allows that will vary between individuals, depending on their body type. An average would be around hip width.
In more dynamic forms of skiing, where carving is being done on high edge angles, more separation of the feet may be needed to allow room for the legs to be tipped more.
