Thredbo 2023 | GS Ski Short Turns on Super Trail

Afternoon of skiing short turns down Super Trail at Thredbo, Australia. I really like making short turns on these longer skis as it requires precise timing of pressure to the edges, rhythm and foot speed. It has taken a lot of practice, drills and video of myself to be able to keep making progress with my skiing.

How was this filmed? Incredible

Tom? With your short turns, I recall you make mention of "pulling" your skis around in front of your body - especially on steeper slopes. Do you also emphasis vertical movement of your body to unweight the outer downhill ski and to get onto the inside uphill ski more easily in the transition?

[@Bigpictureskiing]

I actually emphasize a lot of different things. You’ve just seen one of my videos where I mention that particular pulling the skis through one. In reality there are so many things you need to work on with a ski turn. Hands, pole plants, weighting/unweighting, edging, for pressuring, turn phase timing, where you look….. the list goes on and on and on. If you really want to know all the things I think join the online academy or subscribe to the bps website during winter. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll learn a lot.
Cheers

Nice. I like GS skis for the softer hook up they give. More flowing. Nice film work too.

[@Bigpictureskiing]

Agreed! Thanks
