Ski Safety Grab.

1. Approach the kicker straight on.

   Keep your knees softly bent, weight even on both skis, your upper body facing forward, and your eyes on the lip (the take-off edge) and beyond.

2. At the lip, extend your ankles, knees, and hips together to pop straight up, taking off just like a straight jump.

   Don't tuck early to reach for the grab, or your pop weakens. Leave the ground fully first, then start moving.

3. As you near the peak of your rise, bend both knees, bring the skis together, and draw them toward your stomach.

   Curl your pelvis slightly with your abs to lift your thighs toward your chest, raising the skis up to where your hand can reach. Lift the legs to the hand, don't reach the hand down to the skis.

4. With the easier-side hand (right hand to right ski, left hand to left ski), grab around the toe piece of the binding, near the front of your boot.

   Because the skis move independently, matching the lifting leg and the grabbing hand on the same side lets you reach without strain. Spread the other arm slightly for balance.

5. Hold the grab through the peak for a beat.

   Keep your chest up and your eyes on the landing instead of folding forward. The farther you reach, the more your torso tips ahead, which leads to over-rotation or a nose-heavy landing, so lift the ski and grab it close to your body.

6. Before you drop, release the grab, lower both legs, straighten your knees, and level the skis parallel to the slope.

7. Land on the balls of your feet, flat, and absorb through your ankles, knees, and hips.

   Keep your eyes forward, weight even on both skis, and ride away.
