Hey folks,
Separation and angulation: What do those terms mean?
My totally amateur understanding: Separation generally describes the upper and lower body working independently, or the upper body remaining more stable facing down the fall line, with the lower body moving and turning beneath. Angulation is sort of a specific case of separation, in the middle of a turn, with your upper body vertical (or more vertical) and the lower body leaned over at an angle to the snow.
Whatever the definitions, I think they are both things I need to work on.
All best,
Bruno
