Visualizing the race course with 2 hands

Mikaela Shiffrin is nothing short of exceptional. I really enjoyed watching her this season and winning with her trademark, smooth and pure skiing technique.

What I noticed though the other day, while she hand-memorizes the course while waiting by the starting gate, is that she did it with both hands as if each hand was one of her ski, and with the right amount of pressure and edging applied on each board.

Most other skiers, only do it with the one hand they feel comfy with. That might go a long way in making yet another small difference to her credit...
