Exquisite skiing..... (I’m am ex-FIS licenced racer, ISIA qualified ski teacher and passed my Euro-test in Italy). Her timing, dynamics and pressure sensitivity is..... Exquisite.
amazing athlete, love her smile! but also has a very low key and great personality. Stay simple and humble. Congrats and lot of respect. Alohas from Maui, Hawaii!
I do all Mikaela's drills, except for the deep knee bends to snow plow at 0:20. So how come her hip turns at 0:48 are 900 times better?! Such extreme angulation so slowly even before she punches the accelerator. ♥️🎿❄️
She flows quickly and powerfully across her skis and as a consequence this generates a higher pressure shift to the outside ski (ref. Newton’s second law of motion) - plus her timing isn’t what they teach in ski instruction (I had to change my timing for racing to pass the Euro-test), plus she’s doing micro movements within her body very naturally that most are not doing. (I’m an ex-FIS licenced racer, ISIA qualified ski teacher and passed my Euro-test in Italy, and at the time was the second oldest person to do so at 3 months off my 40th birthday (after not race training until @35 years old when they introduced the Euro-test to ski instruction....... It took 4 1/2 seasons training whilst working in Val d’Isere and Meribel, France, to get it and I had to Learn what movements to make and how to race by education, and figuring much out. And now I know what all the racers are doing...... And MS does it exquisitely..... much like Lindsey Vonn.). Her timing, dynamics and pressure sensitivity is..... Exquisite. I can recommend reading the book “Skiing Mechanics” by John Howe (ex-Chief Engineer at HEAD skis) He has got some great stuff in there. One piece of information in particular is an absolute diamond. Enjoy.
@@russellhawkins366 unfortunately, "flows across her skis" is not a lesson plan or a drill 😉. I was a ski instructor for a season and in that and subsequent years I learned a proper carve and a pretty strong parallel turn initiation (I could already ski any terrain), but my apparently expertise just revealed further mountains of better technique in the distance. You gotta enjoy the journey, because you never arrive at mastery of skiing 🎿⛷️🏔️ I'll check out the book, thanks. It'll join Lito and Harb's books and several others.
I’ve been a ski instructor for 39 years, having first qualified in 1992. As an internationally qualified ski teacher I couldn’t race - so trained until I could. And learned a Lot about skiing. So much so I hardly teach what’s in the manual because there are fundamental flaws in the technical information. The Euro-test is a Skiing exam in Europe where the racers have to get down the course within 18% of the world champions time. That’s the equivalent having to sprint the hundred metres in 11.5 seconds in order to be able to teach sprinting..... - and that’s something l achieved at the age of almost 40 years. MUCH had to be learned to get there - hence the reason why I’m recommending John Howe’s book (which contradicts the established technical ski teaching manuals.). Howe explains ski design and the actions that are required to work in harmony with the ski..... Something yet to be addressed in ski instruction technical information. Due to that info I can flow across my skis fluidly from carving edge to carving edge, or pivot to pivot (smearing) etc etc etc. In Val d’Isere / Meribel we were surrounded by world-class coaches and were receiving world-class attention that is very different to the orthodox material. And “flows across her skis” is a lesson plan. One I gave on my Level 4 Ski Teaching exam and the Examiner was astounded. It blew his mind..... He gave me 6/6 - 100% - for technical understanding..... (It’s the only way I could have passed the Euro-test at that age.) Remember the coaches don’t teach the racers very much, they just send them around the poles and in the Alpine nations there are 10,000 children going down racecourses of which the top 4 who just happened to be making the right movements - or closest to it - get selected for the team. I had to go and learn those movements and figure them all out. When I passed the Euro-test there were Italian racers, in their 20’s, that had been in the club d’sport race camps for 20 years that failed...... and I got there in four years because I applied the same principles to skiing that I do to martial arts..... ie What to do with the body in order to get an affect at the periphery. Or put another way, how to move the body in order to get maximum power at the point of contact. Or, how to move the body so that the ski responds according to what is wanted.....
@@russellhawkins366 Not sure I agree with everything you stated. Specifically, I believe MS does NOT "generate higher edges pressures"...she generates similar edge pressures vs her competitors, but she does so much more SMOOTHLY. Her genius is she builds those forces more smoothly, and reduces them more smoothly. This explains how she can carve smoothly while others lose the edge or chatter. She does this by rarely letting the skis get "off direction". They are always pointed in the direction they are moving (unless scrubbing speed using a pivot entry of course). Even when 90% of the weight is no the DH ski...the inside ski is still tracking the same direction. Her skis rarely leave the snow (controlling ski unloading/pop). She minimizes flat time when not one one set of edges or another. This is easy to do making medium to large radius turns on a moderate slope. Any expert skier should be able to do that. This is exceptionally hard to do on a steep icy slope making SL turns, and that is what MS does best. The best drills for enabling these abilities are Garlands, Norweigan/WhitePass Turns, and One Ski Carving. I have experienced this personally over and over skiing hard conditions. When I put lots of energy into the turn and really jump on the ski (higher edge pressures) I chatter and just exhaust myself. But if I stay on edge, keep the skis tracking, and build and release edge angles smoothly, I can actually carve better, not lose carve, not chatter, and spend less energy doing it. The reason is that when you do the things to generate more edge pressure, you usually end up with the ski "losing tracking". It ends up yawed and pointing in a slightly different direction than it is travelling. Even the slightest amount in hard snow can cause the carve not to engage, and you chatter.
skierpage, it is because she spent far more time doing Garlands than you probably ever imagine..... This is, in my view, the single most beneficial drill you can do. Have you ever spent an ENTIRE DAY doing Garlands? Try it some time...then make some turns at the end of the day. You will be shocked. Keep your lower legs parallel, and LEAD initiation with the inside (uphill ski). Also, you need to understand what phase of the turn a Garland is modeling. It is your transition. So the uphill ski in Garland is your outside ski at the end of a turn as it becomes your new inside ski.
I have been watching and a fan of ski racing since I was in high school back in 1974. I have seen every top woman skier in the world since then and by far Mikaela Shiffrin is the best women’s skier I have ever seen. She just has a natural ability like no one else. On the men’s side I would pick Ingemar Stenmark. Just my opinion.
dear mikaela my only problem is that i cant ski without sun. although i am an intermediete-to-expert amateur when its snowing or just cloudy and everyting is plain white i immediately lose confidence and start falling. is there a way to cope with that?
Sounds like your eyes have a a hard time deciphering contrast on flat light days (thick clouds and/or snowing). You need a good pair of low light googles with high contrast. They aren’t cheap. I’d recommend Smith I/O MAG with ChromaPop Storm Lenses.

0:48 She is making these turns with her face, chest, a weight and balance change to her uphill ski and a thrust of her hip into the turn. What she is doing here is very simple. Does it look like she is working hard? She is doing the minimum needed to allow her skis to perform as designed and needed. As far as the skier is concerned, you make turns with your face, chest, weight transfer from your downhill to uphill ski and then a variable amount of pelvis or hip thrust into the turn to create the amount of leg angle needed for the grip you want or need for a specific turn radius required. You do Not think about rolling your ankles over or "Tipping" your knees to the side or your big and little toes or pressure. You don't think about flexion or extension or your core or separation or transition or initiation or any other meaningless words that teach you nothing. Anything that happens in your legs is a Result of what you do with your upper body. If you teach the result, your upper body won't be in the right place to make the lower body perform.
Yes she is from the inertial reference frame, in constant free fall from the heavens. Riding on a microscopic bead of exclusion zone water who's superfluidity can not be matched by any other mortal. She has risen and is falling spectacularly.
Yeah yeah, gazillion times world champion shredding everyone all the time everywhere but Harold Harb says that’s not the way to ski. Oh wait, nobody cares...
Apologies--fair call. My attempt at a joke was totally unclear. Harold never said that, but I was imagining that given how heated he gets about ski technique he would have no qualms telling MS that her technique is completely wrong. Would love to hear what he thinks about how she skis, though, given how dominant she is. Although there's a young Kiwi doing pretty well in GS these days...
As another with redundant initials I am qualified to say there are many questions I would ask Harold like "do you screen your coaches"? How many square feet of skin have your Harb Carver users left on roadways? can you ski in a wider stance? Simple questions on the health of his clients.

Spacing & parallelism between her skis doesn't vary at all. All her years of drills & fundamentals really show - pure perfection.
Exquisite skiing..... (I’m am ex-FIS licenced racer, ISIA qualified ski teacher and passed my Euro-test in Italy). Her timing, dynamics and pressure sensitivity is..... Exquisite.

Warren Witheral and the Burke Mountain Academy along with a great talent of Mikaela. That is some awesome skiing.
Linking with all drills and skills while tips go down the hill. Such great linking and switching edges; even at super slow speeds.
Thank u si much Mikaela
At present She is the most accomplished athlete of any sport in the world.
lol no
@@area51r , your comment didn't age well.
Mikaela Shiffrin is the queen ! 😍
she makes it looks so easy, incredible!
I disagree. She makes it look plausible... and that is important to any one else trying to do it.
What beautiful style in every way!
That beauty is called rectilinear motion...
she's such a cutie. amazing personality and those turns!!

FUN to watch as she functionally understands nature. It;s why Einstein is very happy.

That woman is bolted to the snow. No wonder she can race so well. Wow!

@Michael Perez Nah she could ski rough cut lumber just fine... wax up the planks. nail some street shoes to them... you will see athleticism.
@charles w completely agree she skis on rails
