Which of the following is an activity you can do during follow the leader?

• A. Consistent turn shape
• B. Jumping over obstacles
• C. Skiing off-piste
• D. Sitting down

Answer: (A)

During follow the leader, the goal is to copy the instructor’s movements to build balance, control, and predictable skiing on the slope. A consistent turn shape is the best fit because it gives students a clear, repeatable pattern to imitate: the same arc width, timing, and edge engagement from the start to the end of each turn. This helps learners develop smooth transitions, maintain rhythm, and stay aligned with the slope and with the leader, making feedback easy to spot and apply. Jumping over obstacles introduces unnecessary risk and isn’t a controlled drill for beginners. Skiing off-piste requires more advanced terrain and skills, which goes beyond a simple follow-the-leader activity. Sitting down isn’t an active skill or learning task.
