- On the FIS World Cup every hundredth matters.
The key to being fast not he work cup is simple, You need Clean Completions.
Rolling your ankles and carving the top of the turn is not the most important thing. You need to carry your speed!

One of the most interesting ski vids I have seen in a while. If you make more WC analysis vids, I’ll be watching them start to finish.
Great analysis SD. Love all the videos! ⛷️🔥🤙
Great video, absolutely nailed it!!! Could not be more true, thanks :)
Thank you
This is the best analysis of GS I've ever seen. Amazing.
Yes, more WC talk please
Reminds me of car racing, breaking at the beginning of a turn is meant to allow clean acceleration through the rest of the turn. Love the analysis.
Same idea, I have heard it described even more closely in motorcycle racing, where they actually drift the bike into the turn, then accelerate out
More content like this please!
Love your base skiing philosophy! Been practicing and using it since last season. It is definitely helping me get consisyently better results. Thank you for continuing to share your expertise on youtube!
Love that!
Amazing vid! Great insights!
Please more analysis videos!
Mens World Cup GS this season is like… analyze back and forth everything in details… and Marco Odermatt still wins.
I believe Odermatt follows the base skiing philosophy as well, though he has never heard of it I’m sure, his exotic maneuvers are his and his alone. In the end he has the cleanest and most direct completions
Cool video! Fully agree on clean completion being most important, but how do we reconcile this with Ted Ligety's remarks that he is faster because he spends less time spraying snow at the top of the turn than his competition (Bode given as an example of the sprayer) and him also asserting that racers are wasting time doing skidded drills... as opposed to carved drills? Could you ask him next time y'all get together? Much appreciated... extremely curious cat here. Cheers! Your videos are much appreciated, especially the base skiing series!
Great topic, I’ll try
It’s almost kind of sad. I’m guessing if FIS allowed tighter radius sidecuts, we could have cleaner skiing with a more completely carved turn in phase 1 of turns after the transition. Keeping sidecuts so long almost forces the skiing to be scrappy and messy and takes away from the beauty of great skiing. I still don’t know how Ted was able to do what he did, but I miss that style of skiing.
I say take all the equipment rules away and let the athletes and companies make the best tool for the event
Love these WC reviews
Great analysis, former racer myself but love this stuff.
Glad you enjoy it!

Carve the top of the turn...lose the outside ski in the second or third phase...low line/ late transition??
Hard to attack.
Yup, sometimes you have to give a little to gain a lot
It’s almost kind of sad. I’m guessing if FIS allowed tighter radius sidecuts, we could have cleaner carved skiing. It’s almost all become only about scrappy, messy turns and it’s not as graceful. I don’t know how Ted did what he did, but I do miss it. His style was amazing.
I love the scrappiness. I also loved the Ted smooth style. It’s all good with me
JD -
Hadda question...and a thought:
1) what YT(or other) channels do you recc'd for watching WC ?
2) if you're sending these sites traffic...could the monetization be "adjusted"?
I’m not sure how that all works
Well...part 2)...sure.
How about part 1)?
"Atomic Ski Fans" channel on YT
has some good WC/FIS videos.
Great video, but why are you filming under the stairs like Harry Potter?
That’s my studio!
Wrong. The focus should not be on stivving the top of the turn, feathering in, or “clean completions”. The reason why Zurbruegg was fast was not because of his “completions”, it was because he was going deeper into the turn, allowing himself more room to work and bend the ski into the fall-line. What he called “elevation” when analyzing Windingstad was mistaken for depth. (The horizontal distance from the panel). Zurbruegg had nearly a meter more depth than windingstad and that’s why he was able to be done with his turn earlier, and releasing the ski deep into the next turn. It’s a steep pitch, so stivving snd redirecting is okay, but it’s not what should be looked at or analyzed.
Please define “deeper into the turn”
Val d'isère quite steep isn'it
Yes very steep, I certainly chose this race because it highlighted this aspect
I was coaching and then just did this season teaching. It was awful. Minimum wage, no paid training/certifications, 24 day minimum - so I'll have to pay the $1600 lift pass if I quit. Plus the standard of skiing was dreadful - they have one person with Level 3. This is a place in upstate NY, but they get 6000 skiers per day. Ski instruction - huge mistake!
I like ski teaching, I get to ski and chit chat. It will not make me rich, RUclips probably won’t either, that’s why I ask for donations
Dude, make a new video.
:0)
Have you checked out Harald Harb?
One should let that carve develop thru the turn, increasing as moving into the turn until you hit the transition.
⛷
Sounds good to me
