Honestly in my opinion the best tip for getting better at skiing is consistently go skiing with people that are better than you
It is a very good way to get more comfortable and push yourself to the limit constantly, but Um always so anxius that im ruining their enjoyment
Yep, and you have to tell yourself to watch what they do
and then you find yourself in front of a sign that says "expert only" ♦♦ and then you are forced to get better.
Miles Mcghee like golf, tennis etc, the ONLY way to learn how to ski PROPERLY is to invest in 1-1 tuition. Otherwise you reinforce your own mistakes and pick up other people’s. Your suggestion is lame.”
@@fishtherapy100 Found the ski instructor.
I found that skating with my skis taught me the most. The longer you hold it one ski the better. It gets you comfortable with the feelings of balancing on one ski and it's the perfect segway into dolphin turns.
Great videos! Visualization is the key. Drills shown in the videos are excellent!
Brilliant. Really useful tips which I will try next week. Think I'm guilty off all of these. I've only been skiing for 4 years and class myself as a nervous intermediate. I've got better fitting boots this year and I'm hoping you feel more connected to the snow and more confident this year. I can get down reds but I really don't enjoy it.
Good fitting skiboots are essential. If your heels are always coming up if you lean forward you will have a bad feeling of connection and control. This leads to leaning back again. The next problem is to much stiffness from the boots. If you have a 4 buckle boot and you need to close the 3. buckle from above to strong to get a tight feeling, the inner plastic of the boot will give to much pressure to the lower shin and the boot nearly cant move forward anymore.
When I was a beginner I bought the cheapest boots I could find as I did not know how good at skiing I would get but after progressing to a longer pair of skis I noticed my heel would lift and my foot would twist a little when I turn. So it was time to get new boots and I skipped the intermediate grade boots and went straight to an advanced 120 flex boot. While they cured the twisting and heel lifting problem they were very stiff so I just skied in them with the buckles loose to begin with and as I got used to them I progessivly tightened the buckles but I had a lesson with the buckles tightened and the instructor said I was not pushing my knees into the front of the boot which I could not do due to their stiffness. With these boots they had controls that I had not been told about and one was stiffness and the other canting. So I played with the stiffness control to make the boot flex and stood in my beginner boots for comparison and was able to achieve an identical flex in my new boots. The other function called canting is setting your boots so if you dont stand flat in your ski boots due to having knock or bow knees the boot can be tilted to one side to correct this. Canting would be important as without it being checked you could catch an edge.
When I was starting(about 5 years old) I had Roces boots they could change size so I didnt have to buy new ones every year now I am 13 and have Rossignol 110flex boots they are great
I think I do feel the same for the second point.
I CANT WAIT TO GO SKIING AHHHH
Hey Jens, nice video series. Appreciate them as complement to lots of practice and a few lessons at my local slope. I use these as a reminder of what to do/not do in the mornings before I start my day or midday if something doesn't feel right and I need to adjust (I'm mostly on blue square in north america). One suggestion - maybe say a quick sentence or two on why each technique is correct or incorrect or when it's desirable (or ask the guest/co-host to do so)? Sometimes the 'why' is intuitive to a casual observer (noob like me) and sometimes it's not. Thanks again.
Tips in the video were really helpful, Thank you!

You helped me start in my freestyle career and now I’m just sitting in the park for 4 hours and and doing cork 360s, 540s, ext.
hey man, just wanted to drop a comment that I really like and appreciate your videos. Helped me a lot to get much better at skiing! Thanks!
Great video. Good reminders
You deserve so many more subs
Excellent Tips! thanks! ⛷👌🏼
Спасибо, за видео урок!
Very useful, thank you!
i learnt ski by myself and i decided to learn skiing professionally but my area doesn’t have that and this video is great
Thank you very helpful 👍🏼
Holy cow. The trick where you lift one leg at a time works SO AMAZINGly. I just went down my first blue square and if I hadn't watched this video, I would NOT have made it through the day. Thank you so much!
EDIT: The reason I needed this video was that it's my 2nd time ever going skiing and I can't get lessons for my skill level but my dad and uncle don't want to go down the green dots so the blue squares were the only option
Your videos are really good! I am learning skiing and your tips are great 😄
Great guide! Thnx :-)
Твои видосы,как Тарантиновские фильмы,с начала учишь прыгать ,а теперь как правильно карвить,не зря подписался,теперь уверенней себя на трассе чувствую,жаль что в русском переводе нет
Could you get ed to do a tutorial on skiing switch
THANKS MATE...
Thanks!
Amazing video!
Timing so important in turns. When I was improving, music with a reasonable steady beat and rhythm was brilliant. Similar to counting 1-2-3, but the beat is coming through the music.
So no Extratone u saying?
I know all this. Once I pick up speed everything falls apart. 😩
Boo 2 same
Same :(
Me to
Practice more than you’ll be more used to ski the Nice way and Go just a little faster every time
Let your skis work for you rather than you working the skis. As your consistent it will come naturally, you gotta experiment with your body and knee movements.
Good job guys!
This helps thx
Right turns, winter has begun, thanks for the lesson!
Please send your videos with subtitles. Love this channel😍
RUclips offers automatic subtitles for every video in the settings. I think it's under "CC" or something
I fell in powder yesterday. Rock vs collar bone = broken collar bone. Surgery on thursday. Rip this season
Dude that really sucks rip
That sucks dude, sending you energy bro
sorry to hear that. heal well.
wow, how'd that happen, usually it's pretty safe to fall in powder. Did you hit a rock? get well
@mus. Yeah, i guess i was unlucky! Luckily the doctors says ive healed in 6 weeks so I can ski later this season. Thanks for the support guys! 😄
Great video Jens, congrats man!! Btw pretty cool those Atomic googles, I appreciate if you let me know the model. Cheers!
Atomic Revent Q
Nice video, guys! Thank you!
I'm an intermediate/advanced intermediate and never took a lesson in my life. I improved my transition when I was advised to hold my ski poles crosswise out in front of me like a horizontal bar as if the ends were like gates and to ski the fall line imagining I'm skiing between the tip and handles with my body as square to the fall line as possible.
Gary Bowen make a video on this! Sound like a good method, but I cannot quite imagine it..
I was taught you pick a spot at the bottom of the hill, and you keep your poles out in front, making sure your body stays pointed toward the bottom of the hill as you turn across the hill. Really helps cause the exaggeration helps toward when you ski without them,
You might not have paid for a lesson, but it sounds like someone was giving you useful advice! ;)
I skied with a group and one was a circuit skier in Quebec. That's how he skied. Right on the fall line always in the fluff on the sides of the trails. Dazzled me.
@@JB91710 I don't twist my upper body. I keep it quiet as possible. It's as much weight and edge shift from the knees down, as much as I can.
Awesome
Can you review a tipsy elf ski jumpsuit?
Hey great tips in this series, thanks.
The other day I saw an instructor with other skiers doing the lift a ski while turning technique.
Wich ski is the guide using? Or what is a good piste ski?
Very good tutorial, I'll try to follow these tips. I'm trying to figure out which country does this accent comes from?
Hey Yens, What is the brand name you your jacket on this video? Looks pretty sweet.
Nice vid helps alot
Yes!!
Mistake #4) falling
Falling is just a result of your mistakes. When you fall, you learn !
Good one
@@vinonsflyer nahhh falling is the best part, everyone laughs until you dont get up 5 mins after
hahaha! Im from Switzerland and my friends and I use to say: "If You didn't fall, You haven't been skiing!
If you’re not falling, you aren’t skiing hard enough!
Ok guys, nice video, I like it.
What about importance? What is the most important issue with parallel turns?
If you really want to help people, you have to decide what is the most important issue to fix.
I say, that if you steer your skies by leaning backwards you will be unable to make a parallel turn. You can not keep the skies parallel if you lean backwards during the turn. So the body projection into the fall line is necessary. This is the most important part.
Also you forget to mansion the separation.
The second most important thing is to keep the body weight on the outside ski by pressure control, lifting up the inside ski.
Angulation, separation is the last thing of these 3.
What about the too quick turn? This is not so easy to improve. Because it is a "life saving" action. When an intermediate skier feels that he looses balance he will pivot the skies before they start to turn. So counting to 3 is not very much helpful. In skidded turns you do the body projection to the fall line, then you pivot your skies a bit and then you and the skies make the rest of the turn. To make a smooth, rounded longer turn, you must be a more advanced skier, making no pivoting, or just a very little pivoting before the skies start to run into the turn.
Got more out of this comment than the video.
I agree completely. Thanks👍
I never skied b4 so I'm not sure what your talking about im thinking it will be kinda easy to learn like water skiing and rollerblading
Good one.
i struggle to keep my skiis parallell with each other, any tips for this?
I can ski on 1 leg on the outside skis, my problem is edging parallel with the inside ski. I can slide it over because no pressure is on it as it’s lifted but it’s still not true parallel skiing edging with both skis. Any tips on how to fix this?
1) Turning the Skis too quickly
- skis have to travel in the fall line for a moment
- ski w a friend, follow them
- counting in your head to time your turns to 1,2,3 turn
3-4 seconds depending on size of a turn , then you start next turn
1: across
2: down
3: across again
C-shaped turn
2) leaning back too much
Absorb pressure of turn. Bend through all of joints
NO BUM BEHIND YOU (waist still stays back.
-bring hips forward over ski in the direction where u want to go
3) do not lean into slope
- stay balanced on outside ski
- Project forwards and down the slope
- pole plant to bring body forward into turn especially on sleep slopes
-lift ONLY tips of ski up
One of my biggest issues is the uphill ski seems to move around a lot. Is this a symptom of not leaning forward enough in my skis or a boot/flex problem? I had some pretty bad fitted boots with like 60 flex from the rental shop.
Sounds like you have a higher angle on the outside ski than the inside ski. And at higher speeds it you need to lean more forwards, yes.
In 40 years of skiing, the best tip anyone ever gave me was to keep my hands out in front my body "like a pair of headlights" If you do that it will help keep your weight over the center of your skis.
You can ski perfectly without having your hands in front of your body.
What about this tip: Do everything you can in order to keep the pressures on your boot-tongues. The boot-tongue pressures give the steering forces to your skis. As soon you lose it, you will be in trouble.
Nice
In high school, in upstate NY, i had k2 comp 810's and could do a helicopter. Im 57 now and living in NC. I can still blow by teens with their snowboards. 😎
you need upload video how to ride switch and common mistakes of switch
Слава Веремей if u slide your left ski further downhill you are going towards the right ski and you should look over your right shoulder , and visa versa . Switch skiing is easier than it looks , common mistake is that the skis are sliding to much away from each other so it will be a pizza
Its actually pretty easy, it also about practicing imo... there isn't much to do wrong as long as you know how to brake:)
I tried lifting both of my skis at the same time through a turn, it didnt work, can someone explain to me how its done?
Powder Skier if you go a bit Faster it is possible due the sticks to Give yourself a littorio jump and sue your legs just before turning and jump a little
Best tip to avoid leaning into the slope:
Learn to skate on skis on flat sections then hold the balance on one edge for increasingly longer time periods.
MegaLuckydog1 i should have added that it was for beginners haha. Its easier to learn to skate on the flat with skis before attempting stuff like this. Im doing dolphin turns now but what really helped me at the start was skating on snow and holding up my opposing ski for increasingly longer periods of time. Its a very similar principle but you don’t have to worry about the slope.
200th comment come on get him to 200k subs
I was taught not to turn the body only the legs on turns. So... what're your thoughts in that?
True
Isn’t forcefully or rushing a turn necessary given conditions, terrain, and other skiers? In an ideal world, I’d have powder and slopes to myself, but if it’s icy and crowded and I need to control my speed then forcing turns is needed.
Are you still in LAAX? if you are I will keep an eye out for you!
Laax is SICK !
@@fernandb.6162 Go to Davos!
you should visit verbier/4vallées 🤙🏼 so dope ☝🏻
@@ryanmuller4996 Have been to Davos too ! The whole Graubünden area is just full of amazing ski resorts.
Pity I’ve found this video after my ski trip where I really struggled.
I’m confused what is the purpose of learning to keep the one foot up during the turn?
My dad tought me to point my skis together to slow down not the best because it might lead to getting them on top of one another
It’s a good way to stop or go slow when you are learning
Hello guys im thinking to buy some skis never had my own skis and ive been looking into k2 Sight and i wanna lern / try the park but still ride normal and in the wood etc is this skis good for me? Sorry for my english !
You should get the CT2.0, it's the best all mountain ski I've ever ridden
InvestedCard33 is it good for the park too?
@@kooorbara8594 yeah man its great, its really soft but still landing from jumps feelsreally good. You should look it up on youtube for example
InvestedCard33 Ye Will do Thanks alot that u answerd my question u are the best !
@@kooorbara8594 Please for the love of god do not buy a pair of factions as your first ski
The moment I lift inside ski, I started the turn automatically, very rush, no any travelling time, why is that? Anyone can tell me?
This man interviewing w/o gloves on
I always have yard sales on the slopes...
Haha
I have a question is turning the skis on tree/mogul runs normal and ok?
I think it would be quite detremental to your health not to turn on tree and mogul runs, so yes, it is normal to turn in that kind of terrain.
@@95spades Your comment made me laugh :D
I feel like they might be referring to the hockey stop/slash rather than the carve. Yes you can slash and turn in the mogul runs, this is more of a beginning video. The purpose it to get you comfortable with your edges and general positioning so you don’t end up backseat and off balance in trees/moguls
Ok thanks and yes I did mean hockey stop/slash/hockey stop turns
@@95spades I didn't mean not turning the skis I meant like turning them quickly without much carving
Anyone want to count How many times the guy says «Okay» ?
Thanks, great tips, really useful. Will try these with the family in a couple of weeks 😀⛷️
Stomp It Tutorials is the best, I love the channel so much. It has inspired me to make my own channel about skiing, you should go check it out. And once again I must say how much I love this channel, keep up the great work.
I love this channel a lot too, I just went a checked out your channel and it’s really cool. All of you should check it out as well
I will be surprised if I manage to get on the ski lift
@@JB91710 I disagree, the first you go up a lift is scary, but after you actually ski it, it’s fine
@@JB91710 true
Hey guys I need some advice i consider the K2 amp force as my first skis, does anyone has experience with these? I am pretty limited on budget though...
Personally no, I havent used them. what type of skiing are you planning to do? Freestyle? Downhill? I personally use Volkls as they suit my style very well. If not, Rossignols are very good for beginners and advanced skiers as well as their boots. However I'm sure the k2 skis are good as well
@@louiewhite5192 Problem is that I am from greece and the season is around 4-5 months so i need something to cover me on various conditions cause i have to take advantage of everything i can. I will mainly use them for downhill on frozen snow and maybe pow if I am lucky. Thanks for the answer and i will consider rossignols.
@@StaVrosRaf The problem I think with some K2 skis is their too light and flexible and may feel flimsy. Specifically the rossignol smash 7 in my opinion would be a great begginer ski, and it's at quite a low cost for most skis in 2018, no need to thank me, just trying to help someone out, I know it can be tough to buy something. I would strongly suggest though investing in high quality boots over skis. I cant stress how important boots are. Then probably a good pair of bindings, preferably the brand, Marker. I would try rossignols though, and once you get more advanced maybe atomics.
@@louiewhite5192 That was some helpful info I will focus more on boots and do some research on rossignols. I really appreciate your answer mate, thanks.
If I were you I'd test out several kinds don't stick yourself with something you won't like.
Okay? :P
Try all this with Free heels, Ha ha ha. The instructor would fall down.
I was turning way to fast, after I started going slower I was much better.
i am only 3 days into training, but when i turn (try to) hahah, say if i want to turn right, me left leg turns alot, but my right leg kinda stays pointing down the slope. maybe because I'm 110kilos, this require alot more effort i guess?? or maybe the ski's are too heavy or long?.. i watch these tiny tiny people go down the slope so slow, but here i am, full triangle, nearly doing the splits, and im flying down the slope over taking everyong, losing control, legs dying... the only thing that slows me down is hitting the barrier. lmfao. i must be missing something. hahah
also just a quick add onto the turning right, i find my body leaning more right, i was told i need to lean left to turn right, but if i lean left, wouldn't i just fall down the slope??? so confused. ive had nothing but bad results from skiing, nothing seems to work. hahhah
Hey man, I’m having the exact same problem as you. This is tough! Did you ever figure it out? Props for giving it a go
...and don’t fall ;-)
I think that it's totally okay to fall, mistakes are what make you improve
I have been havinv trouble commiting to rails, any help?
simtel 55555 just send it
Get comfortable in ur ski's
Get comfortable on more mello features like boxes. The find a rail you like on an practice on that. Once your comfortable on other features and think you're ready you just need to commit to the rail (just send it). Everyone falls at one point or another you just need to keep practicing and accept your going to fall here or there
Drink beer first.
Love your videos but the color looks flat. Need more color.
I had all 3 mistakes before this season lmao
...why am I watching this? I like to think I'm a decent skier and shouldn't really need any of these tips lmao. great video though
The 1st time i went skiing i hit my head off of a tree
Same, but the way I put it is "I discovered an innovative instant-break technique".
Me toooo haha
@@charlottemland2237 im going march 12th hope i dont do it again 😂😂😂
If you are open to a critique, it's hard to hear both of these guys. When you record, try to project more, and avoid swallowing your words. In post, you can bring the audio up if you mix the sound.

Why are these mistakes wrong?
Is that Bear Grylls?
Just by watching these tutorials,do beginners still need classes knowing they can be expensive?
Yes they do!
The tutorials assume you’ve already mastered the basics. They’re for improvers not beginners.
It's a good Idea to see an instructor.
I have been skiing 3 times in ,and ready for a fourth..i insist on ski lessons for at least 2-3 hours for 5 days out of a week..It really help you to build confidence on different terrain and you learn so much watching other student going down a mountain..Then spend the rest of your days trying out what you've learned..Skiing isn't cheap,but it's worth a lot to learn good technique for around £150-170 for a weeks lessons..B/W
I 'd LOVE to buy her a mountain DEW and keep Lauri cmpany;

I’m scared
I stopped even trying cuz I really REALLY didn’t want to walk out with a broken leg and ruining my knees for life.

All this is fine until you hit a blue run
If you ski with gates DONT LISTEN TO THE FIRST ONE!

What he mean in think is bend your knees but not to far
Don't
Number 69: having dumb desieses
?
Does anyone else snowboard but wants to ski but then they have to rent them and they don’t want to rent because they already have a snowboard and they are just making themselves sad
Bearo try to sell your board and ski , skiing has in my eyes more potential to improve
Quincy Vos k thx
