Ski genie training apparatus and methods of use

A method for teaching the art of parallel snow skiing using unparallel ski arms comprising:

• providing a snow ski training apparatus having two elongated freely rotatable overlapping ski arms pivotally mounted to a single vertical pivot point shaft fixed at the point of overlap on a sliding pivotal point assembly, said sliding pivot point assembly configured for movement along a longitudinal axis of a supporting T-beam, each elongated freely rotatable overlapping ski arm having a foot pad connected to a heel rest resting on a ground with laces configured to receive a foot of a user at the tail end of each elongated freely rotatable overlapping ski arm;
• placing a left foot of the user atop and in alignment with the foot pad of one of the two elongated freely rotatable overlapping ski arms positioned on the ground, wherein a heel of said left foot engages the heel rest, and securely lacing said left foot to said foot pad and heel rest;
• placing a right foot of the user atop and in alignment with the foot pad of the other of the two elongated freely rotatable overlapping ski arms positioned on the ground, wherein a heel of said right foot engages the heel rest, and securely lacing said right foot to said foot pad and heel rest;
• supporting a body weight of the user in an upright standing position with at least one foot of the user secured to the foot pad positioned on the ground;
• assuming a hip flexed position, the hip flexed position comprising:
• the body weight of the user being supported by the at least one foot of the user secured to the foot pad positioned on the ground;
• a hip of the user being disposed below a height of a hip of the user in the upright standing position;
• a femur angle of the user being bent at an angle relative to the ground;
• an angle of each knee of the user being bent at an angle;
• leaning a body of the user laterally through a sagittal plane of the user;
• extending the hip and each knee of the user until the user achieves an elevated position, the elevated position comprising:
• the body weight of the user being unsupported by the at least one foot of the user secured to the foot pad whereby said foot pad is vertically free floatingly positioned above the ground without load bearing support;
• laterally maneuvering the body of the user from a first position to a second position through the sagittal plane of the user while in the elevated position, said laterally maneuvering the body of the user comprising:
• rotating a torso of the user,
• tangentially moving the body of the user around the single pivot point engaging the the two elongated freely rotatable overlapping ski arms from a first axial position to a second axial position divergent from the first axial position, wherein moving the body of the user around the single pivot point comprises tangentially moving the right foot and the left foot of the user along the same, congruent and overlapping arc;
• returning to the hip flexed position after the step of laterally maneuvering the body of the user.
