For me, this season was "the season to get BETTER". I made EVERY turn with purpose. I had a goal every day. Result - 4 different level 3 to 4 instructors told me I am skiing totally differently or so much better. It meant so much to me. I had three people take videos of me. One was with a ski school. I skied 99% of the time alone. I signed up with Tom, Big Picture Skiing. Learned so much more than I could imagined. Made a humongous difference. I have pictures and videos from the beginning of the season and towards the end of this season. I can see the huge difference. I mean, I FEEL TOTALLY DIFFERENT. I am not done yet. Three more days to go. I went up thinking "Never give up!" every day.😂
Thank you so much, Tom. Atomic girl.😊
I am so happy to hear this. Well done to you. And you are not alone. There are others using bps and getting unsolicited positive feedback. 🤩
"Struggling is a good sign" is the positive pivot I needed, thanks!
I didn't get anywhere near as much video as I had hoped this season, but the ones that I did really confirmed some deep-seated issues (counter, possibly due to my heavily duck-footed stance) that I am going to ponder in the off-season.
I know it’s great when you can swicth something interpreted as negative to a positive.
Hello Tom, guys
I am a perfect example of what you are saying guys
Last June , I came cross BPS on youtube and met Tom for the fist time 😊
At this point i decided at 59 years old to raise my ski level to the next step it’s never too late 😅😅
I registered to BPS , start learning ( bunch of videos ) but started with fundamentals
Athletic stance AND equipment
I asked question to Tom who is always available , change my mind with ski race boots, get rid of footbeds
There is no such delivrable than the ski boot guide Tom did
Results :
after only 18 days on snow:
I use my feet and legs to ski now
I can make short turns and carving
Better ski position with less pain in my legs
No pain in my RC4 MV pro boots ( only 1 day) before the basic boot fitting with the heater to mold the boot to my feet
Pulling out 1 screw behind the shoe to give a bit more flex
I will work this summer on the last fine tuning
I am so happy now and yes if you decide to become a better skier and start with fundamentals and a good coach. You can do it and faster
My best step is to make a ski camp with Tom next year … let see
I need to convince him to come in the French Alps😅
Great to hear Steph. I will get out to France one of these days soon.
@@Bigpictureskiing really ; let me know when this will happen !!
A lot of value there , thanks Tom and you guys for this knowledgeable. Video
Glad you enjoyed it
Hey Tom,
Really liked the video. I appreciate you making something for us guys that are self-learning.
I especially loved the part about the flow.
I have a question related to the type of run that we decided to do(chill, improve, perform, ...):
What do you think about experimenting vs "keeping it by the book"?
Here's where I come from with that: my 2nd time I went skiing I improved a lot by focusing on improvement and skiing by the book almost all of the time. I did parallel turns, short turns with separation, angulation, slides for edge control- slide only and slide while traversing, marching and turns on one leg, hockey stops, a bit of javelin drill. The last day I couldn't get the hang of the technique that I had on the previous days and it was worse. I couldn't shift my weight as well, and I couldn't do the pole in front parallel to the ground angulation & separation drill. So I decided to play and soon after I was doing checked turns(per Ultimate skiing book) which is hard pivoting and braking, the type of turn you would use when coming down a really steep path. That was going well, and I played with it on the red tracks, but when I wanted to continue to ski normally I completely lost the feeling for it. I reverted back to the wedge and the beginning and was feeling that I was regaining control but I wasn't enjoying it as I felt that I regressed and was bummed out and ended the last day 1.5h earlier.
I would appreciate your point of view since I would like to know for the next season
Both experimenting and keeping it by the book so to speak can push your limits. Working on technique is a challenging constraint for example skiing with angulation when you have never done that before.
I use video to keep evaluating myself constantly and searching for what challenges I can find next. Whether it be a tech one or a tactical one
