ANKLE FLEXIBILITY & STRENGTH - is very important, to prevent overload of the knee joint and allowing you to place your weight correctly over the skis.
Mobility/ Ax: The simple Knee to Wall test can give you a measurement of how far your ankle can flex and tell you if you have the optimum range for the mechanics of skiing.
The ideal range for safe skiing is between 10-15 cm, it is very common to have a difference in your level of flexibility between your left and right leg.
