    I find your use of the bicycle analogy extremely useful when describing good ski technique. Most skiers also have ridden a bicycle so they can relate to it. The concept of shortening the inside leg also relates to riding through a corner with the outside leg extended and the inside leg up. Your weight is on the outside pedal as in a ski turn. Hands I front holding the handlebars, upper body quite with lower body doing the work. You look out in front always at where you want to go to steer your line as in skiing.Cycling requires momentum/ flow which helps you balance as you maneuver. The faster you go the easier balance becomes. Doing a track stand / balancing standing still is very challenging. I think that skiers who make Z turns are lacking the confidence to ride the skis like mountain bike on a downhill flow trail. They want to constantly put on the brakes instead of allowing the sidecut of the ski follow it’s built in turn radius.

    For me, the most important part of the turn is the transition from the previous turn. It is important to be patient with the upper half of the turn and strive for keeping the nice round shape. A lot of skiers become uncomfortable with the upper half because they are increasingly turning downhill and accelerating.They try to rush to get to the lower half of the turn where they are turning more across the fall line - they feel more secure and in control. The result is a series of Z shaped turns.

      That is so true! I'm not a ski instructor, but a enthusiast skier and I sometimes help friends with skiing. The first thing I tell them is that you really need to turn your skies completely downhill for a while to make turn. Cause so many people look like they're trying to make the turn without the skis ever pointing downhill.

      That’s what I call “windshield wiper turns”. People equate braking with control because that’s the first thing they are taught - to check their speed. They are comfortable fighting against gravity, but to ski smoothly you have to flow with gravity and use your turn shape to govern your speed. The result is greater security and control and less fatigue from fighting the hill constantly.

      Yes, smoothness is important. It is helpful to keep your head up and to look where you want to go - well ahead - rather than looking at your skis.
      Although when we first learn to ski it seems unnatural, as you progress you will see that it is entirely natural. A good, stable stance, looking well ahead, dynamic ease are important for almost all athletic activities, skiing included!
      Have fun with your skiing adventures! If you want to learn quickly, take lessons on a regular basis. Once you have confidence, try racing clinics. You learn a lot that way!

      Ha! Back in the 70’s it was rare to see tracks left in the snow made by a carved turn. Skis were straight and initiating a carve required aggressive forward drive to create the reverse bend in the ski, but not too much as to cause it to slip. It was back then that I developed my habit of looking at ski tracks from the lift.
      With modern shaped skis, such tracks are common. On race night at my local area, the slope used for warmup is covered with lovely carved tracks left by people who know how to ride the ski around a turn instead of pushing it.

    Great video, Thank you for not braking weight distribution in to percentages. A suggestion; when describing how much weight goes where. I find describing a skiers platform shows one of three things, body weight on one or the other ski or on both skis. Outside ski gets body weight, inside ski gets leg weight. Leg weight makes a very effect rudder to dynamically turn a skier. If your not fulling on the outside ski yet, practice that first. If you think about it, body weight can be anything from 0% too 100%. Body weight can be is the majority of weight at any one time. This is what we teach in Dynamic Steering clinics. You have good delivery, thank you again.

    Another thing to keep in mind is that smooth skiing is a continuous flow of movement; there is no static position. The transition from the end of one turn to the next should be a smooth movement of the skier’s body from inside (uphill) to the other side (downhill).
    If the skier is executing pure carved linked turns, the track left in the snow will be a graceful arc carved by the inside edge, then a momentary gap where the skis are flat while transitioning into the next carved arc. The ideal is where that gap looks like the footprint of the ski - as if someone just laid a ski there between the two arcs!
    When practicing, try laying tracks under the ski lift so you can look at them on your way back up. You can learn a lot from them!

  • @TIm_Bugge
    @TIm_Bugge 4 года назад +2

    An alternative to the accurate intellectual analysis offered in this video is to practice one simple technical principle; Use Your Eyes. Dedicate yourself to always be deliberate about exactly where your focus your eyes. Your body will automatically adjust to get you where your eyes are focused, but what's more important is that when the adjustments your body automatically makes fail, your mind won't be in an analytical state but rather in a situational state which means that the biomechanical information of those mistakes stands a far better chance of being integrated into the next split-second adjustment produced by your visual/motor axis. Once you begin trying to take command of your visual sense, you'll be surprised at how much less control over it you have than you would have predicted. It really is the most important skill I practice in skiing/snowboarding. And it's getting harder to maintain as I get older as well, and I've been skiing for 50 years.

    An old ski instructor once told me to look at skiers on the hill (blue run) and tell him which ones were experts and which ones were intermediates. You could tell instantly - but why? Because the experts were always turning, one turn flowed into the next. Just like Christian does in this video. The intermediate skier makes a turn - maybe a fairly good one - and then makes another turn. Each turn is an independent event. Even in huge turns across the entire hill, the expert is always flowing into the next turn. K.G. nailed it: When one turn flows into the next, it is effortless. Heaven.

    That was helpful, nice job. But when your off pist and on steep terrain there is a certain amount of skid that's incorporated into the turn - otherwise you reach terminal velocity quick.
