General principles

The study of the principles that regulate movement in climbing has also allowed a new approach to the techniques of descending on fresh snow and ascending on skis.

As in climbing, the Method aims to develop motor skills by identifying the best techniques, which give the maximum result in terms of understanding of movement, speed of learning and safety, in the same way the techniques proposed for skiing have been studied to promote awareness of movement and the principles that regulate the conduction of the equipment in all different situations, depending on the snow, the slope and also the type of ski used.

With this new approach, the good skier is able to move in the best way, adapting to the conditions of the slope to be descended and the snow cover. The specific motor intelligence that is developed with the Method allows the acquisition of natural, harmonious, simple and effective skiing, eliminating the defects and errors that limit the freedom of motor action and that derive from involuntary automatisms, a consequence of a partial knowledge (and ability to execute) of the body’s movement on skis.

The MC applied to off-piste skiing is designed to maximise individual ability, rather than to perform classifications of curves that differ based on the radius of amplitude: as the skier becomes better he will be free to perform the type of curve he desires and/or is most appropriate to do depending on the circumstances.
