Angulation
Estimates lateral separation between the torso and feet during turn shaping. It accounts for flexion so crouching alone does not increase the angle. This is a movement estimate, not a measured joint angle.

Edging in skiing
Edging describes how the skis are tipped and engaged with the snow to shape the turn.
What Poser measures for Edging
Inspect body separation and how the inside and outside legs build edge together.
Edging Similarity
Compares inside- and outside-leg edge-building timing and participation within each turn. A higher score indicates more coordinated edging; it does not measure grip or compare left-turn and right-turn peak angles.
Explore Edging Similarity
Open an edging metric in your results to compare Angulation or Edging Similarity across turns. Select a turn to loop in slow motion, then use the skeleton overlay to inspect how your body and legs move as the skis build edge.
What it means
A ski turns more cleanly when it is tipped and pressured in a useful way. Edging is the relationship between the ski, the snow, and the body movements that create grip.
Why it matters
Good edging helps the skier shape the arc instead of skidding late. It also creates a platform for pressure and rhythm, especially on firmer snow.
Good vs problematic movement
Good edging usually builds progressively. Problematic movement may show an abrupt edge set, a late edge change, or skis that stay too flat until the bottom of the turn.
How Poser can visualize it
Video cannot measure ski-snow interaction perfectly from every angle, but replay can show leg inclination, edge-change timing, and whether the skis begin shaping before the fall line.
What to look for
Compare when the new edges engage on left and right turns. Watch if the upper body turns first or if the legs create the edge change underneath a quieter torso.
