This is a study of two different schools of thought on how to crossover/transition from one turn to the next. Marco Odermatt and Filip Zubcic utilise very different tactics/techniques to execute their turns. Both skied great and are great skiers in their own right. I think this season we will see a few battles between them. I look forward to it.
I like to look at racing in a simple way between “line” and “friction" and playing between the two will result in a fast or slow time. Obviously techniques and movements are the direct result of these two outcomes along with equipments (eg wax and speed suits and boot set up) For example: if you want to cut off your line but you are cutting the line tighter than the ski radius will allow you to carve you probably will skid causing extra friction, and friction is a slowing mechanism, but depending on where you do it it might be faster or slower. On a very steep section cutting the line with a skid might negate the friction caused by not carving as gravity and momentum can make up the difference, whereas if you do it on a flat the opposite effect will happen and you will be slower. There are always trade offs and compromises for every decision, but the deciding factors are: “are you on the tightest line possible creating the least friction possible?” Creating different movements as you can see in this video have a cause and effect on friction, one option creating more surface area and the other one less. Just because you are in a more aerodynamic position obviously doesn't always mean you will win if you ski a terrible line. It is always extremely interesting to look at these things. Anyway just some extra thoughts.
