The apex: where one turn ends and the next begins
What to look for
The apex is the point where one turn ends and the new one originates. Sometimes it even works.
Ask yourself what the apex is for you. Is it the main event of your turn, the moment you build everything around, or do you focus on a different part of the arc?
In the clip, look at the apex of each turn: edge angle, where the pressure is, and how little happens after it before the skis start to release.
