Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Oscillation

 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead
Hi All

New to the site and as a below left leg amputee I was looking for some advice?

I have only been skiing 5 years and now that I have got to blue and red runs, my left ski oscillates which feel dangerous, i was wondering whether anyone knows a way to stop this?.

Cheers Glenn

I'm guessing that you are skiing with a prosthetic connecting you to the left ski.

All the amputees that I have skied with have used a single ski with outriggers.

 Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

@Lucygirl1958, Your ski could be oscillating for a few different reasons - maybe a poor fit of your prosthetic foot in your ski boot, maybe not enough pressure on that side, maybe weight too far back, or maybe something else...
I can't say how to fix it without watching you ski.
Find a good instructor* to have a look.
*Doesn't necessarily need to be an adaptive instructor, just one who is good at movement analysis. Of course an adaptive instructor who is also good at movement analysis would be the best option though NehNeh
