    In six minutes, this man has perfectly encapsulated what I've failed to explain to my kids for the past 3 years. I SALUTE YOU, GOOD SIR.

    Literally the best skiing tutorial I've seen on RUclips. The drills are so intuitive. One-legged skiing really teaches you to put ur bodyweight onto the outside ski & interestingly makes it looks like snowboarding. (except you upper body is not aligned with lower body) From there, you can easily turn your now weightless inside ski and make parallel turns!

    Pretty sure this guy is the best ski instructor in the world no other RUclips videos I watched have come close.

      He is talking the super basics to get you going for day 1 basically, try watching few of Deb Armstrong, Harald Harb
      , Darren Turner or Josh Foster videos. I personally would advice anyone who is willing to spend the time and money to sign up for camp with your local resort. The best way to really make the jump is when you ski few days in a raw. Stay safe

    Was skiing at Lake Placid this week, first time I've skied in 10 years. And now I'm looking at videos to improve my form (and not be so sore the next day). This video is easily the best ski lesson video I've seen so far. Simple, straight forward and to the point without trying to dazzle you.

  • @1Picture1000Words
    @1Picture1000Words 6 лет назад +3

    Here is a comment that I just placed on another video that applies to something you said:
    The only negative comment that I have pertains to wedge turns. It makes more sense to initiate turns by moving the skier's center of mass (COM) at an angle forward and down the slope. By transferring the skier's weight to the ski opposite to the direction of the turn, the skier is moving his body away (i.e., uphill) from where he wants to go. By moving his COM down the hill, the angle of the inside (downhill) ski to the snow decreases while the angle of the outside (uphill) ski increases - this causing the turn to happen. This movement of the COM is identical to what happens in parallel skiing. It is far better to learn this skill initially. Otherwise, it because more difficult to unlearn it later after it has become part of the skier's muscle memory.

    • @TyQuinn
      @TyQuinn 6 лет назад +3

      1Picture1000Words Your comment makes no sense. The downhill ski is the outside ski. Your uphill ski is the inside ski. There is no way that the same ski can be both on thr downhill side whilst simultaneously being on the inside of the turn. That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever

    As a beginner skier if you don’t learn these fundamentals you’re gonna have a bad time. If you keep falling on the ice ful of snow with skies you’re gonna have a bad time. I need to go to this school and learn the fundamentals really well. This guy is a great teacher!
