It is as though during your skiing, your unconscious mind has built a skiing simulator, which you can use to try out new techniques.
Top athletes use visualization in two ways.
First, they use it to learn new movements by visualizing the sensations they will feel when they perform. Visualization can help you too. In order to help master individual techniques, run through them a few times the night before you try them on the mountain. If you are visualizing a new technique, try to imagine yourself undergoing the full experience. In addition to running through the positions and movements of your chosen technique, try to feel the forces on your body, especially the pressure on your feet.
