I was waiting for the banana shapes reference!

One BIG thing that I would avoid teaching new skiiers is pizza. Doing pizza with the skis is a good way to slow down if you have no control, but its also a great way to throw out your leg when going on anything steeper than the bunny slopes. Its much better to teach proper turning instead of "pizza to slow down, french fry to speed up"

I love taking my jacket “on”. Great vid

What month do the snowparks typically open?

I appreciate the opportunity to challenge my own beliefs and expand my horizons in this enriching environment.👅

Cool music😂

Great stuff, Jens and Kerr! Well articulated! It would be cool to see a close-up or animated illustration of what putting the skis on edge as you roll on your ankles looks like. Is it as simple as tipping from one side to the other like carving toe-side and heel-side on a snowboard?

What skis are best?

Thank you for being so thorough! Easy to understand guidance.

Thank you. I have Carv and love it. Could you make a video on how to go slower and still have proper form. I can have quite good form 135 ski IQ but only when I am going fast (50-60 mph and I am a thin person so it’s quite fast for my size) When I slow it down my form goes down the gutter. Thank you!

Great work guys!😊

Where do you signup for these trampoline cources? Can not find it on your webpage. Cool video, i am game!

This is really illustrative of someone does not understand

In gymnastics we have a saying you go where your head goes or you look. If you set a front tuck looking down you'll never gain height. It's amazing how much the ~12;bs of the head messes with the axis of rotation for the whole body.

I want to do this camp so bad 😮

It's impossible with a hard plate, right? My skis(head oblivion79)are too hard

We got to do that to make it through the flats.

Do I need to increase my DIN for butters? Or keep them where they're at for my normal skiing habits?

I’m sure I’m one of many really good skiers who never could never commit to the 3. I kept telling myself “next powder day” which never came because the east coast had a bad winter. Ice it is. Good lucky everyone ! ⛷️

And they say snowboarders destroy the slopes...

It hurts my shins

Cool jacket

Yes to Dave please 👍

Pay for lessons the first few times you ski. You will have a much, much better time and build up your skills gradually. My first ski trip was in France and we had ski lessons every day - we spent the whole time in snowplough on downhills which is a very slow way to start but it’s the safest and as you keep doing some gentle hills you will naturally start to parallel ski as you become more confident.

Wow! You are so good at this, except everything else, that really matters.

i got stressed watching this as an intermediate skier :D

The Booster straps have Blown My Mind when Popping!!! I cannot believe how far & high off the snow I can get now, especially w/speed & a good half-second preload wind-up on my knees for the POP! I've noticed I'm much more comfortable Sending Spreadies when I Pop high vertically, and I'm much better at Sending grabs on jumps that launch me OUT farther than UP. I want to grab when I POP High, I'm sure trampoline time will help w/this, any other tips? Thanks so much for everything my Stomp It Bros!!!

I've meant to try learning Japan & Mute grabs, but my Safeties have been so shit this season I haven't tried progression, I really want to dial in nice Safeties 1st. Then in the power beginning this April, w/o thinking about it, began Sending nice legit Safeties w/good arm extension & Pop! The wk before I was getting the arm out forward, which was progress! Onto the Japan now!

A good video. Just small notes, aerobic and and anaerobic are factually incorrect and drastically misleading and outdated terms. Anaerobic energy system can only keep you going for very short sprints (seconds). Correct terms are first and second ventilatory thresholds. Below the first one you are on base endurance zone. The main fuel source is fat but some part of energy is always taking from carbs even then. When the breathing deepens, one is moving to "speed endurance" zone. This is is significantly more taxing than the base endurance zone and recovery takes longer. The fuel mix starts to tip towards carbs. A trained recrational fellow can withstand this zone for 2-4 hours. The speed endurance zone ends to the second ventilatory threshold. The intensity is becoming very high and typically a trained individual can withstand this intensity around and hour or so. Very little fat is used at this point but it's all aerobic still. One good place to learn a bit more about this is for instance Inigo San Millan's work ( scientist in this domain and also training top road biking athletes) .

I so MEANT to get to a Trampoline center, hopefully this offseason.

VERY cool & inspiring to see my fellow graying Gen-Xers training amongst you!

Nice 👍, curious that which skis you are using in this video?

Very cool you make it look easy! It not I know :)

По рыхлому надо кататься на борде. А на лыжах - по твердому)

Woher die skier?

that was a great insight. I am looking forward.

Is the short turn and edging a skill you use in powder? I have the same problem with this guy and rotating too quickly becoz of skiing mogul all my life. The annoying part is when the powder starts to get skied out and have bumps, it is so much harder to rotate your ski to hit the moguls like on the hard pack

#1 Reason: You're not in shape.

Thanks for your reply. I feel I know so much about you now. That was a long one

What do you mean by get the hip forward. In my head im picturing hips being most forward on take off so shoulders are behind hips causing a cork. This coukd be my problem

Very nice thanks 🙏🏻

Why my ski wont turn 😢

I use the backwards snowplough 360 recovery trick 😂😂😂

I feel like cork 7 is easier than normal 7. Haven't done either, but when learning 3s my biggest issue was losing the axis and leaning to the right. I feel like I kinda set my 3s corked anyways to compensate, like it feels like I throw forwards and left. Am I delusional?

Do any certain methods work better for certain ski types. I just purchased my first pair of skis (Salomon QST 92 183cm), and I just learned skis have a different turn radius depending on profile. I've always used shorter rentals that are also probably thinner. I've never thought about ski technique so I can't wait to compare the types.

Thank you! 😊

Jens, would you be willing to review the atomic mavericks? I think they play a really great role in the all mountain category which I know you’re not a fan of. It might change your mind a bit.
