Hi Josh,I am 63 and took up skiing three years ago to go with my wife who is actually a snowboarder (oh well). Anyways took a season and a half of lessons and was not really going anywhere except green runs and odd blue. Started watching your videos last year and the lessons you have shown resonated with me and in a year and some I now do all the blues and most blacks except double blacks. I would like to thank you for these as they have enhanced my enjoyment of skiing immensely. Look forward to them and keep up the excellent work. Only wished I started earlier.Peter Richards
Nice explanation, I think I carry a little bit of that from the old days on straight skis. I’m gonna keep that I go this morning and see if it helps. Thanks.
Transferring dominant pressure to the inside ski's little-toe edge, early in a turn will also erase tip lead. You usually see this in someone who initiates the new run by relaxing/retracting the outside leg
RIdiculous..just make your inside foot dominant at apex and lead change takes care of itself. It is only an issue for folks who hang onto that downhill/outside big toe edge too late in a turn.
PEOPLE, PEOPLE, PEOPLE! When trying to understand skiing, you do NOT focus on the byproducts of doing other things and call it "Teaching!" His ignorance of what skiing really is, is overwhelming! When you position your upper body correctly and change your weight and balance correctly, all the things that happen because of that and the ski design, happen naturally. If something is happening with your feet that you think is incorrect you don't fix it there. The problem originates above because you create turns from your eyes down, not from your feet up.

Watching your videos to refresh before the ski season and teaching.

brilliant practical advice thanks mate
That is a great tip. I have this extra lead change problem.
The secret of ski-lead is that you have to do different thing before apex and after apex.

Avoid moving anything backwards.k
To fast to understand. You need to slowmo the crucial moment while explaining
Mmmmhhh... you should speak a little bit slower than you speak, so that we can understand also in Italy :))))))
I can't believe you are teaching something that happens naturally when you position your body correctly.
