Great video

Great video.

I suppose the drill 2 might be extremely difficult on a hard icy terrain :-(

I want to learn how to carving skii,im a beginner here in Japan.Thank you so much

Chassoure ski trail in Verbier (Switzerland) 😉

Super helpful….matching arm with ski at similar is great ❤❤❤ essentially control the hip rotation. Brilliant

Legit

Excellent, thx!

what a great drill and mindset with keeping “the box.” definitely working on this in jan 2025 in colorado.

Those skips are soooo short. Where’s the challenge? Your skips were banned on expert bump runs when I was skiing. Get some 207’s and ski like a man.

Death cookie?

helps a lot, thank you !

Fabulous! ❤

Thank you for the drills. Will try it tomorrow.

Well done 😎😎😎

Thank you kind sir for your tutelage . You are such a delight to watch ski . ⛷️

What a great instructive video . Thank you so much 🙏

Great

I like the 1st and 3rd drills the best as they don't require a pushing off from the carving/outside ski. Given that the turns u r using the drills to help u perform require the skis to cross under your torso, I think that 2nd drill could cause some mechanical confusion. As always, greatly admire your skiing and teaching!

Great demos!

A most in depth explanation of how, what and when pole planting is a contribution to the overall out come I've ever come across! Watched it twice then took copious notes in my teaching log and wrote up a clinic for clients and instructors. Thank you! Warthog

👍 Great exercises! I always need to feel the edge of the ski before I start skiing.

when i did last exercise, i have cut all of my pants inside by skis edges.

great video

Nice skiing and excellent use of the King's English! Staying composed in challenging conditions is a prerequisite for today's lift served skiing environment. If you can ski well in crud you'll never have a bad day - at least that's what they tell me.

Thanks❤

Well, finally, not a half bad tutorial on bump skiing. It leaves out all the usual suspects: discussion of the critical element of stepping off/transitions from the edging ski; timing and placement of pole plants; and how about an exact description of the movement of each foot and where it is on the ski(inside, outside, center) in each phase of turning along the concurrent pole plant. Think of it as writing it down in a computer program. Note: @3:00 what you're describing is a subtle form of dolphin turn it seems.

Ive watched this video quite a few times now, tomorrow I start properly trying it out, and lets see how it goes 💪💪

Where do you work Dec-April?

Joshua, Your skiing & coaching are excellent ! Top 1%. Please keep it up.

All ski racers do not turn their bodies into turn, they leave legs and upperbody seperated

Very professional video and great coaching. This is the gold standard. I aspire to do half as good as this. And I will be practicing these drills in Zermatt in a couple weeks. Will let you know how it goes.

All I can say is, this is an absolutely awesome display of ski, carving, and coaching by video. Thank you! I get it.

That was really helpful. I’ve been working on my curbing technique for five years and my big breakthrough last year was the placement and timing of my hands. I was coached to move them forward by about 6 inches from my normal position. What are your thoughts on this relative to this video? Looking forward to hearing.😀👍🎶😎

I came to comment the same as everyone here. This is by far the best video I’ve seem about moguls. There’s so much valuable information here. I appreciate it!

Great accents in these outfits for demoing!- the direction of shoulders, knees, and parallel shins. Dark panels on top of the shoulders won’t grime up so fast when you carry your skis… I like the light blue best

Don't want to unfairly criticize your teaching here but getting the inside (mostly unweighted) ski at a matching edge angle to the outside ski where one naturally is concentrating on is important and not addressed in these exercises.

Love the sit-down hockeystop!

hello Joshua I am your big fan , from South Korea nice to meet you btw i think you need to develop your transition part . there is your kind of weakness. if you want to know my opinion, please reply about my comment. I am sure, if you develop your transition , your turn would be more perfect

If done correctly, the Crab Walk will let the skier "feel" the carve on the outside ski. Thanks for the flawless demos !!

Great video!

Wedding present!

Hi Josh Just wondering about this...when you do those fast med carves, I notice elbows often held quite high even at shouder height on the outside arm. Is there advantage, compared to elbows closer to your sides? Would it help in pulling your upper body and hips to follow the ski tips when you move your hand forwards?

So good! I love that view too. Really like evaluation process. I ski Coronet Peak 30 days a year. It's so variable in the snow conditions and it's something neglected in teaching skiing. You need to know snow 😂. You also need to read the slope as it's undulation and meandering fall line are subtle. But reflect 2x in how you can ski it.

JDS, Is it accurate to say that the rotational orientation of the upper body relative to direction the skis are pointing stays consistent from start of pressure (just above fallline) to end of pressure (start of edge change)? Thank you.

I am a ski pro in Eastern U,S, I appreciated your discussion of focus in the challenging conditions that you skied - the assessment of the terrain to the task you intended. Our conditions in the North east are generally icy and firm. Assessment of terrain is super important. Thank you JDS!

Well done, shifu! The quality of your recent video is so much better. Very constructive! Looking forward to seeing you someday in Wanlong.

This is some great content. Rarely people mention the importance of the pelvic rotation for guiding the skis through the arc.

Usefully video

Brilliant Josh!! I love how you described where the focus should be in challenging snow conditions in order to improve and maintain performance. This is something I have always struggled with where I have found myself, coping, dealing with it or just managing. So this has given me a whole different way of looking at it where Im more in charge rather dealing with challenging snow conditions. God, so much of it is mindset and where we put our focus!! Thanks Josh for this enlightening perspective :)
