  • This is an excerpt from our full-length, instructional video titled "Transfer Balance to your Uphill Ski". The ability to transfer balance to the uphill ski is critical for starting turns with the skis parallel; starting turns quickly, where and when you want; and maintaining your balance and control continuously, rather than struggling to find balance each turn. Take a look and see if you'd benefit from watching the full-length video!

    So good! Been working on this. Not easy at all. But for sure will unlock another level of skiing

      This is really challenging for so many skiers. I hope that you find this new video helpful as you work on it.

    The primary problem is that learners do not see the idea that this is actually one foot-job. Just like skating, walkin, runing and cross country skiing. There you can clearly see that it is, but on alpine it cannot be seen -so you have to say: "put the weight to outside ski". On walkin you have not, even chlid moves her weight to one feet a time. It would be quite funny to walk with both 2 feet a time. But one last thing: in WC, the most usual mistake they do, "weight on inner ski!" and then falling, it is not because they are late on this, no. --It is when they are too fast moving the weight to "future outer ski"

      I don’t agree, the fastest you move the weight to the future outside ski, the better. Also there is no problem if whilst you tip and bend your inside ski you put weight on it. In deep snow you actually have to put weight on it. The worst mistake that can be done in my opinion is to focus on the outside ski and try to steer my using the outside ski, all attention and steering comes from the inside ski, whether weighted or unweighted is of less importance

      @@damiancitobarbanis7575 Wel, with your idea they racers all fall. If soonest inside ski pressure is good, then why not start the turn with inside ski? ;-)

    • @Osnosis

      You are correct; the inside ski tipping is a cue to move to the inside of the turn arc. The outside ski is doing 90% of the bending.

    Weight can be shifted from one foot to the other. So can the centre of gravity. But balance implies the play between two opposing forces. As such it’s not a correct substitute for weight, the term the vast majority of skiers use. Otherwise the session is well done.

      I believe their method is to discuss movements, nothing else. If you lift one foot off the snow, you don't need to use the word weight, it can only be on the opposite foot. All you need to tell the student is lift foot A, and things happen, the weight is on the other foot. you needn't mention shifting one's weight at all. I believe this is highly effective. I have skied for many decades, but I can tell you when I became aware of their description of the movement of the inside foot, flexing the new inside leg at the knee and ankle, and pulling the inside foot back at the end of the transition from one turn to the next, everything fell into place. It was a transformative concept. You do not need to use the terms of physics, like weight or center of gravity in teaching one how to ski. If the teacher talks about movements one needs to make, things will happen, automatically. I believe that concept is the foundation of their methodology.

      Totally agree, Jim. When I was watching slomo slalom footage of Mikaela Schiffrin, it was evident that she was unweighting the current downhill foot very early in the process, thereby getting the soon-to-be downhill foot carving earlier than her competitors.
      Watching Diana's moves above encourages me to put more weight on that uphill little toe edge earlier than I have been doing it. Learning is a continual process...., esp for those of us who started later in life.

      Teaching kids this winter, I would simply tell them to touch with the pole which is on the side they want to turn towards and simultaneously pick up that foot. (ideally the heel of that foot, to encourage them to keep their weight forward)
      It Works!
