I’m absolutely thrilled to see you’ve started another series, Darren! I’m a L2 ski instructor in Canada, and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve recommended your earlier series with Elate/SKNG to my clients, because the stuff in that series is just top notch-after all, it helped me get from absolute beginner to where I am now. I expect even greater things to come! (From you at least, and hopefully from myself too) ;-)

I often relax on the flat and let hands drop a bit but when its game on I get them out front.. great advice.

Hello. I have a question. When I am making parallel turns, should my body facing downhill along with the fall line and looking down the fall line regardless of the direction of travel of my skis (as it is making the S turn)? Or should I align my body and eyes with the skis and where the ski is going in that moment?

Great info ! Cheers 👍And nice footage / edits etc

Just actually say something! You talk about fundamentals but never get to the fucking fundamentals

Thank you

I have this issue of looking down, even when walking, so I’ve been working on maintaining posture and eyesight up. Thanks for the tips.

That was a funny finish to the video that also resonated 😂

Really excellent content and production. I just know most of my failings will dissappear tomorrow...😅

Thanks for all your new (and earlier) vid’s: so much valuable info! Found this new series during my skiing holiday and they help me focus on the important bits of technique and keep on improving my skills. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

The OG of skiing lessons. Thanks for making this channel, buddy.

I watched your old videos every beginning of ski season and always learnt something new. Thank you so much and very excited to watch your new videos!

“Mr or Mrs Viagra” 😂😂😂

Like they wouldn't trust Nature. Like they wouldn't trust flow.

Also the state always must do something as the things wouldn't be clear enough. Around children

I was waiting for your series Darren. Thanks a ton. 🎉

This is a great lesson... thank you... only my second day... It's a tough one... being older and heavier... the kids are amazing.... why?! Haha

These instructional videos are fantastic. Really useful tips. Unless you are a true expert you can learn something here. Thanks for sharing!

On my way to ski vacation in Austria, watching your video's again and again. Great tips. Thank you!

Never knew this. From now on, hands in front 👌

Summary; Right body position: Have the right body position: - soft and relaxed ankles - knees flexed and supple - hips flexed with slightly rounded back Stay over your feet. (Don’t lean too much forward!) Usually slightly more forward at start of turn.

Look down the slope. Very excited to implement this first thing tomorrow!

How to slow down?

As a ski and bike instructor, I fully concur, especially the not looking down at your material (skis or bike). I usually tell the pupils their skis or bikes are with them all the time, so no need te check...😅

Hi D.T., this is the most helpful video for me to correct my skiing mistakes, thank you so much!!!

Useless video, no instructions - waisted time!!!

Thank you! ⛷️

Hi Darren! Happy to hear from you! Great advice on eyes up! ❤ To support the channel.

great skiing

One of the best course ❤ watch it after 6yr of ski to learn, instant improvement, never engouh 🎉

The legend is back!!! I still remember back in 2014 how I devoured the SKNG Ski School videos in a Reno hotel room, the night before my FIRST day on snow! This year I started skiing black runs with confidence. Thank you Thank you Thank you! P.S: People may think I haven't made much progress in these 10 years. Well, actually, I only really skied in 2014 and 2024. LOL. Life happened in between.

How to overvome fear on more steep hills? Red and black slopes? Any hints Guys? Ps. Your menthal advices looks really good. Never thought this way. Thnx

Hey, What model of boots and skis did you wear when you recording this video? :)

Very poor instructions. A lot of mistakes in his statements. You don’t push on the skis, you support yourself. ..

This video really, really helped me. Thank you!

I love your nomenclature! Words are so important in teaching. Comprehension from the students is based on comprehension. Your handle of the English language and best using of words are great and directly in line for movements and concepts of skiing. Great videos and very inspiring for me as an instructor in Canada.

Love your intro! The secret of best skiing, there ain’t one! Great intro!

Just on a skiing trip in Val Disere, Watched this video and "implemented" the eyes method... Whilst skiing today - It really made a big difference - Thank you DT.

Great stuff Darren. I took an advanced ski lesson earlier this week and it’s refreshing to see a lot of the same concepts in these videos. Will definitely come back here to reinforce those principles. Looking forward to your new material.

I'm starting to ski moguls! Boy are they fun. What you said about intimidationngkt me thinking. Mentally, I wouldn't consider myself intimidated as I am confident, yet your words got me thinking about rushing the turn. In the bumps, you tend to have a much more definite line choice and precise turn locations. I think this had led me to rush the turn because I dont want to miss it and lose my line? Fall? I guess I'm not sure. Regardless I think i might be rushing turns. It seems like a good idea to practice short turns on a groomed run with an emphasis on making them smooth rather than just fast! My intuition tells me that it is less of an ability issue and more of a mindset issue, and that a but of practice will change my approach to the situation

Absolutely the best sko instructor! I became a huge fan of all his videos. The way he is learning is so aproachable! I’m gratefull for that! ❤️⛷️

I am new to skiing and learned much from your fundamental videos. As a result, I improved my balance on the slopes and started doing much better. Thanks a lot for sharing

Earned yourself a subscriber. Thankyou!

He’s back!!!!!! Omg you’re the best ski instructor on KZbin

Great video, thanks! Have been using your previous videos as a "prep" every year before we head out for our one trip. Thanks for excellent instruction!

THIS GUY IS THE BEST INSTRUCTOR, I AM LEARNING AT THE MOMENT AND ALL HIS MATERIAL WORKS A DREAM

This video series with "phrases" approach are easy to implement during skiing. Very easy to remember "See the light", "Hands in front", "Don't be mr Viagra" etc. It really improved my skiing, for first time I was sometimes driving the skies instead being the passenger trying to catch up. Amazing feeling with less muscle pain! Still alot of exercising to do, but improving on each slope! Thanks for sharing this amazing series!

Amazing series! Helps me a lot ❤

Thank you Darren for your great videos!❤

Found this channel yesterday and had my first alpine ski experience today. I was thinking about this Austrian chap "Hanns" all the time and it helped a lot. He is actually quite nice once you get to know him.
