I am a ski pro in Eastern U,S, I appreciated your discussion of focus in the challenging conditions that you skied - the assessment of the terrain to the task you intended. Our conditions in the North east are generally icy and firm. Assessment of terrain is super important. Thank you JDS!
Brilliant Josh!! I love how you described where the focus should be in challenging snow conditions in order to improve and maintain performance. This is something I have always struggled with where I have found myself, coping, dealing with it or just managing. So this has given me a whole different way of looking at it where Im more in charge rather dealing with challenging snow conditions. God, so much of it is mindset and where we put our focus!! Thanks Josh for this enlightening perspective :)
Love the way you match the tasks to the environment that you have on the day which includes the snow conditions, width of piste available, and crucially the number of slope users. Understanding how to practice away from courses or being coached is such a vital part of development. Thanks JDS.
So good! I love that view too. Really like evaluation process. I ski Coronet Peak 30 days a year. It's so variable in the snow conditions and it's something neglected in teaching skiing. You need to know snow 😂. You also need to read the slope as it's undulation and meandering fall line are subtle. But reflect 2x in how you can ski it.
That was really helpful. I’ve been working on my curbing technique for five years and my big breakthrough last year was the placement and timing of my hands. I was coached to move them forward by about 6 inches from my normal position. What are your thoughts on this relative to this video? Looking forward to hearing.😀👍🎶😎
@@davidjfolk I think that moving the hands forwards and backwards to help adjust balance will definitely help. The aim of the hand movement should be to stay connected to the middle of the outside ski throughout the turn.
JDS, Is it accurate to say that the rotational orientation of the upper body relative to direction the skis are pointing stays consistent from start of pressure (just above fallline) to end of pressure (start of edge change)? Thank you.

So good. Very satisfying to watch. Amazing turns! Shout out to rookie academy and Dean. One of the best 13weeks of my life. Great video.
Thank you so much to share those informations!
Well done, shifu! The quality of your recent video is so much better. Very constructive! Looking forward to seeing you someday in Wanlong.
I like using my exterior arm to
It seems it’s giving me a better position of attack for carving
Thanks for the tips 👍

All ski racers do not turn their bodies into turn, they leave legs and upperbody seperated
