Props to the cameraman.
Jimmy is fantastic
It's incredible that he can maintain pace with someone who's making sweeping turns while going straight., keeping him framed, and avoiding the other skiers.
It looks like they used a drone
Came here for this comment
As an Austrian Ski Instructor I see so many wannabee teacher.. you are one of the very view that explains it perfect in every way...
this is actually really good advice. mixing up tumshapes on easy terrain is so much fun, warms you up and improves your technique on more technical terrain.
Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback
What's a tumshape?
@@robertashker9871 turnshape; lol i am dyslexic and need reading glasses, bad combo
Pretty sure he means Turn Radius, just the size of the turn. I'm going to be doing the Hour Glass or Funnel Drill this upcoming season. Start w/big arching turns and work your way down thru the medium and short ones. I can't wait!@@robertashker9871
been skiing (not often enough) since i was 5 (for 16 years) and STILL needed to hear number 2 on here. Thank you!!!
"If I add nothing but twists of the ski...I'm at the mercy at the pull of the of the slope". Such a great way of phrasing that.
Such beautiful, effortless looking technique. Ten year old Morgan can definitely be proud!
I was waiting for these to show up again. Always good to see
The wait is over! Welcome back
Man, i always thought that I was needing something to perfect my skiing. And I think you hit all of those points perfectly. Good job 👍
Thank you Morgan! You are a gifted teacher!!
Tip #1 is what I really needed this season. I am just too tense and tire out so quickly. I'll try to bend more on less steep slopes to develop that technique. Much Thanks!!!
honestly, props to you for havig the energy and patience to teach others without giving up!
Morgan taught my daughter how to ski, and I benefited a lot from his excellent coaching as well. Great tips!
I miss skiing with you guys! Coaching the kids was so rewarding and being able to get to know the families truly has been a highlight of my career.
I felt this vid in my soul. Explained perfectly. I can't wait to go back
Morgan is awesome, and his tips during our online Carv 1-on-1 session last winter still echo on my mind (was just watching it back last week). Please do more of those!
Message me anytime! Can’t wait to celebrate your improvements with you
Great to hear, more videos are coming soon!
I’m gonna do skiing tomorrow thank you for the tips I’m really excited!
I'm 52, starting season 28 soon, nice to see another big ole kid out there! Great tips great stuff great skiing many thanks!
Your ski style really pops. Motivated to improve and take more lessons. Thanks
Thanks, I’ve been mountain biking for 10 years and I’m just now getting into skiing. This helps
Looking good as always Morg! Good refresher of the teaching you gave us on the EA course, will always appreciate you giving me skills for a life of skiing. Off to Japan this winter looking forward to another season on the snow.
Thank you Oli! Can’t wait to see your pictures of Japow!
Share the video with your friends and keep you eye out for more videos this season
Thanks for the tips. I’m going to Lake Tahoe in a day and will try to ski for the first time in 30 years. Skied alot in my 20’s but this will be a challenge. Will work on the easier terrain to get the technique and confidence needed to have fun and be safe.
good luck out there! hope you had a blast
did u do diamond peak??
Good and intuitive video. In my opinion, one of the most important factors is to bend the ankles to get a pressure between the shin and the boot and to have a pointed knee in the entrance of the turn. Bending the knee without tongue pressure means you have a "toilet position" with difficulties getting a good edge grip and carving turn. Make sure the hip is forward enough to have the weight on the front foot and not on the heels.
Exactly… that bend will vary based on body types. I promote a proportionate use of the ankle, knee and hip to allow for the best structural alignment. Most people over use the ankle and rely on the boot to hold them up.
@@SkiTipsFromMorgan thanks for your reply. Big variations between skiers, but my experience is that the knee and hip bend follow if you bend the ankle and that the biggest difference between a good skier and a half-good one is precisely that you don't have pressure and contact between the shin bone and the boot. If you don't have this, it is pretty much impossible to get a good carving turn. Will follow you as the video was good and that you never become a complete ski instructor.
I think I have a problem understanding this process. If you have a good video or source online please share it!
Wonderful combination of relaxed and competent skiing. Pleasure to watch
Thanks for checking out the tips Pete! Glad you liked it!
Best ski videos. Thank you
Awesome coach! Had a lesson with Morgan last year and he really gave me some great tips which improved my skiing dramatically!
Sir. This is just excellent! Thanks for sharing!
wow excellent, tall hip vs knee flexion, he is an effortlessly fluid balanced skier, the best
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to you Morgan
Apologies in advance if I bore you all to death
I go skiing in a group of 15, I’m the oldest at 57 and the worse skier out of us all
On steeper runs like reds my legs
get tired so easy and I end up falling all the time everyone is then stood around waiting and that really knocks your confidence
Over the last couple of months I have been watching many RUclips videos to try and help me improve
I kept going back to yours Morgan as you made it very easy to understand and made a lot sense
Today was our first day of our ski holiday and I tried to memorise all the tips you had shared and OMG I have never skied as well after about the third run every one was stood there in shock as I went flying by
Everyone thought I’d had many private lessons
I was so proud today especially skiing safety down the red runs and keeping up with everyone
I can’t thank you enough Morgan for helping me gain my confidence it meant so much today x
Hello Andrea,
It is so wonderful to hear about your skiing success! You will never bore me sharing your experiences on snow.
Maybe one day we will be able to get on snow together.
Always feel free to message me anytime you want Andrea, I would truly enjoy seeing some video of you skiing so I can help celebrate your skiing
Aww thank you so much Morgan for your kind reply
it’s my second day in Italy skiing and had another amazing day
I’ve just come down the last run of the day to be told it was a black run no one could believe it, my nephew said what have you done with my aunty….
I said it’s all down to Morgan ( I did get a few strange looks 😂 but I don’t care it’s taken me 18 years to ski like I have in the last couple of days
It’s such an amazing feeling I can’t thank you enough 🙏
I’ll see if anyone in our party as a web camera footage and I’ll certainly forward it to you
Kindest regards Andrea
Thanks!
Simple but effective advices. Thank you!
You definitely make it look soooo easy. 👍 Thank you!
Good comments about the relax/chill stage. Helps staying dynamic
Great to hear! Thanks for checking out the video Otis!
Thank you. I share these with my wife all the time.
Thanks for sharing! We're stoked you find them so useful
Such a great and useful video. Thank you for posting ❤️
This guy is fantastic.
That is very kind of you to say
"I want to play with the terrain that I'm in", is such a cool objective.
We love it! Such a fun way to ski!
Beautiful.
Lovely skiing!
Very helpful tip. Great job!
Excellent video!!! My compliments!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video.
Very good explanation! Good work! 👏👏👏
Thank you! Morgan is awesome 💪
this is incredibly helpful advice! Thank you so much, this really helps as I feel a little stuck at my stage. :) God bless you!
Hi Artra,
Please feel free to find and message me on FB or Insta if you have any questions. I would love to help you progress
Dear Morgan, absolutley amazing ski slopes and teaching. I've have been skiing since 25 years , but mistakes are still with me. Reason: I did not take enough lesson from professional.Best wishes from İstanbul-Turkey
Thank you for your kind words Cengiz! If you are ever in my neck of the world feel free to message me and we can go for some laps
Me too
@@SkiTipsFromMorgan I wish I could come up there !!! may be you visit my country some time , we have very good places to ski in Turkey. Take care and best wishes
thanks so much, this was actually super helpful
I am glad that you enjoyed it
Best advice and vids😊
top quality video, audio, content, and carisma, good job! tomorrow gonna be my first day :')
Amazing video, thank you! This helps me a lot! Btw which ski resort was this filmed?
That was a good video! Thank you.
That's so cool I wish I could do that
the best carving tips I have ever gotten was to have a wider stance and just the inside knee away from your downhill knee as far as your skis are apart. and drive the downhill ski big toe on your foot down once you're in your turn.
this really worked for me.
Good stuff. I would add to find a set of very simple drills that focus on one thing only. Hands position, edging, whatever. Start your session practicing it on an easy slope for ten minutes or more if you're not bored.
Then just forget about it and go skiing. this gets good habits into your muscle memory and you'll start to use them auto-magically.
Nice little nonchalant dolphin turn snuck in there..! Stubai is looking great. Inspiring video!
Thanks for tuning in!
Thank you !
You're welcome!
So cool 😎 to skate on snow ❄️
This is brilliant!
I am glad you enjoyed it
very good I clicked not expecting much but am impressed great presentation and skiing
Thank you for watching Keith
Great tips , thanks
Thank you, happy skiing
Bent joints are key as you mention. Focusing on a flexed ankle creates bend in all the joints.
Awesome, thanks for the tip James!
@@CarvSki You're welcome, but as a top level skier and coach I know you're already knowledgeable about the role of the ankles.
Excellent
🙏
Great video!
For all the newbies (myself included) don't compare yourself to the guy who's been skiing 42 years. We will learn eventually, trust the process.
Hi Morgan, why are you over here in our Alps?
You should be in Lake Louise or somewhere :)
Very nice video and thanks for the tips very nice.
I think I saw a sweet little pop near the start of the Video .. I'll watch it again.
This man is a carving wizard
As I continue to get older and not as athletic as a young adult, I have found that it is easier to just twist my skis from side to side while my body faces straight down the hill. This way I can control speed on steep or icy slopes. It also takes much less energy and leg strength of up and down, and thus I can last most the day. I also apply this on the moguls. My advice to older skiers. Loved your vid, thx.
Wow, this was great, thanks! I really appreciated the digital editing, too (e.g., the joint angles being overlayed)
man, this is making me miss skiing, its been a couple years since ive had the chance to go, and now i really want to go back up to the mountain and get on a lift
Fingers crossed that you can get out lots this season
Please do a video on how to carve while on a steep slope!
Great suggestion! Check out this video with some tips for steeper slopes ruclips.net/video/6sdEFYz7i2g/видео.html
I can try and do a video on that… I will put it on my “to video” list
The word "carve" can cause some confusion. On a truly steep slope part of the turn is a skid, otherwise you will not be able to control your speed. On the steeps using your poles, bending your knees and always looking down and facing down the slope is the key. Don't lean back.
Best toll I've gotten from Carv videos is to transfer weight to the inside ski earlier. Developed effortless and powerful turns for me.
Thanks for sharing!
Something to work on this season :)))
So ready for this season!
Fabulous tips my friend! Love the video. I have been skiing since I could walk, so for about 26 years. But there's always room for learning, improving, and sharpening my skills. Going to practice these tips on Bachelor today! First stop of my 2 month ski trip. So far LOVING this terrain. (I'm from Washington). Catch ya on the Summit chair. Cheers!
Thank you!! Let me know when you are at Whistler, Banff or Castle next, maybe we will be there at the same time and share some laps.
Great simple tips for a standard way of skiing! Don’t be afraid to add your own style and flair to skiing tho!
100% agree
Love it
Thank you
Steezy snowboard bro at 3:15
Amazing! Can’t wait for ski season here on the east coast. Do you have any tips for “levelling up” your skiing? Ie going from beginner to intermediate
I do. Ski as much as you can and the fitter you are the better. Also take as many turns a you can each time you go down the slopes. If you can’t turn much then your on a slope that’s too difficult for you and your learning nothing and not having fun. I call it “just trying to get to the bottom”.
Great tips! What mountain are you skiing on?
Great skiing and even better teaching, way to stay active!
Could you provide your gloves brand and if still available love that color on the slopes?
Thank you for the kind words
The gloves are Level WC CF Glove… owned a pair ever since they came out. I love the colour as well!
I wish I could have him as my instructor
You never seem to look behind before setting off! That's probably Tip No. 4 to stay safe
I always had a spotter looking for me TG as well as timed the shots with the lull of traffic. Thanks for reminding others to always look before you ski
Great Video. When I get into steeper terrain and the snow is harsh, I sometime stand across the slope and still move almost straight forward down the falling. How can I safely engage the edge and not slip away?
I have no issues on any other snow (besides ice patches obviously) but this harsh stuff is difficult.
Edges are tuned and I try to put most weight in my outside ski...
What I have found for the reason why we slip on the ice is because we tried to increase the edge angle, which will ultimately break away. What I try to do is have less edge. Another is during those difficult icy areas is to move on to the next turn as quickly as possible. I will film an IPhone video on this and share in on my RUclips channel as well as on the Facebook CARV community group.
Nice skiing! ... :)
We love Morgan's skiing too 🤩
Dear Morgen , please make more and more videos. Let you experience be help others who deprived of quality coaching and expensive coaching. Please more videos.
We might have good news for you soon…
Excellent video, but I am still not sure about the second tip. Where is it I need to put the pressure on the ski's to carve more into the snow?
outside leg
cameraman is the most pro, better than olimpic athletes
Hi Morgan, very nice lesson, congrats! I really like your gloves, could you please share the model?
Thank you Boris, I love my gloves as well! They are LeveL and the World Cup model
where was this filmed? so beautiful. nice tips.
Glad you enjoyed the vid! This was filmed at Stubai Glacier in Austria!
I was referring to the terrain at 3:07-4 min, which is a good slope to practice on
Could you elaborate the first tip on how to use all joints, I have been trying this for a couple of days but haven’t got the hang of it. Are there tips or exercises for this? Thanks anyways the tips helped a lot!!👍
Hello Siebe,
You need to use ankle, knees and hip joints proportionally to maintain the ability to manage the forces of the turn. Most people over use the ankle joint and due to that the hip joint is under used. Think of an athletic stance which is as tall as you should ever get.
If you have video of your skiing feel free to share it with me and I can give an appropriate exercise to help
Great video, what ski resort is that? Doesn’t look like North America… maybe Europe?
Hi Charles,
It is indeed Europe and specifically we were at Stubai Glacier in Austria
Can someone please clarify where to put pressure when doing turns? Outside ski, inside ski or evenly on both or, depends on the situation? I'd greatly appreciate it
Thank you, this is really helpful! This resort looks so lovely. Where is it please?
Hi Caroline,
The resort was Stubai Glacier in Austria filming was at the end of March. It was rather stunning.
Glad to hear it! We had a great time filming it!
this is very good, but this camera man is crazy good frr
Anyone know where this video was shot/what ski resort this is? Would love to check it out. TIA.
Where do you teach? You are a good teacher, it will be fun to ski with you. Take care.
Castle Mountain Resort
And
Whistler Blackcomb

where are you skiing? looks like good slopes for learning
Thank you so much 👌🏼
What is the place ?
Thanks for checking out the video! This was filmed at Stubai Glacier in Austria :)
What ski area / mountain is this? Beautiful.
I have the same question!
Hi Morgan, where are you in this video? I mean, the name of the resort. It looks great!
This was Stubai Glacier
@@SkiTipsFromMorgan I've been there, a LONG time ago...and was thinking "this looks like Stubai'! I want to go back there!
Is Morgan available for private lessons and where?
I am indeed available… I am located in Canada and teach at Castle Mountain Resort and Whistler Blackcomb
Where was this filmed? 😍
Hi Rebecca,
It was at Stubai Glacier is Austria
What skis are you on in this video please?
I am on the Blizzard HRC 174 (with piston plate)
