240612 Skidding with the tail of the ski on the inside foot is done simply to regulate the brakes.

To begin with, when I turn on my skis, I only care about the tail. Not from the tip to the tail. Just the back half of the edge. When you change turns, the ski that was on the outside moves to the inside. When it was on the outside, you use the inside edge, and when it becomes on the inside, you use the outside edge. The focus this time is on a smooth transition from the inside edge to the outside edge of the same ski. And then I draw it. What kind of shape is it? In Japan, it's the shape of a folding fan. In English, it's the shape of a round pizza cut into quarters. I draw this with the tail of the ski. It's as if I'm gently stroking the surface of the snow. Like a nappe, smoothing out whipped cream.
