WATERSKI MagazineA slalom turn is a slalom turn, right? From a distance, yes. But closer inspection reveals how each seemingly simple
arc can be so unique.
For skiers on super-short line, getting down deep never gets old.
While some guys have to bulldog their way through shortline turns, 1991 world champion Lucky Lowe seems to glide
effortlessly around each hairpin. At age 40, he knows his limits. “This is about as deep as I want to be in the turn. When my eyes, arm and handle are exactly
parallel with the water, I've gone just far enough. Any more and I'm slam-dunked.”
