so what parameters are good skiing according to the snow cookie team?
We have created a six axis measurement system. 3 of those axis are GPS related (Speed, Stamina, Intensity) and 3 are technical axis ( Turn IQ, Stance, Style). We see the picture of a skier composed of 6 of them. Naturally the two most important axis in describing your skiing are: Turn IQ and Stance. That is why we are focusing the most on those two in our feedback system.
"Turn IQ" refers to the symmetry of the edges during turns, transition times, keeping the edges stabile during whole turn and body mass distribution between inside and outside ski of the turn.
"Stance" parameters are body leaning (forward, backward), hips angulation and turning impulses (feet vs. torso).
It's just scratching the surface of the whole system, but i can say that the Snowcookie was presented to Ski Instructors from several ski associations during a Snowsports conference in Kaprun and their feedback was really encouraging.
