but "park and ride" on less exciting slopes is so much fun!

[@CarvSki]

After a long lunch park and ride definitely becomes acceptable 🤣

[@ThunderPrincess2500]

I'm a ski patroller and am guilty of park 'n ride on our beginner and intermediate runs toward the end of a long shift when I'm tired and ready to go home. I need to keep lapping until close so I'm trying to use as little energy as possible because I will be back in boots in 8 hours lol.

[@blameitonben]

@@ThunderPrincess2500 I park and ride on steep groomers that are really icy early in the morning during spring skiing season. I feel like it's a bit tough to get the carve into the ice, but once it's in, I can carve across the mountain easier than carving in a traditional s shape.

[@luisbustamante5319]

i call park and ride 'budget skiing'

[@MrDanAng1]

Knowing how to do the "right thing" and using the "wrong thing" for fun is totally acceptable. The video is (as I understand) trying to correct and expand the knowledge for skiers who ALWAYS "park and ride", always are on the wrong position on the skis, always miss out rounding up the turns and always end up as a curled up ball, bouncing on top of the moguls without control. All of this things is fun to do at times, but it's not fun to be limited at ALWAYS doing them and wonder why "everyone else" can do the things you can't. In short, knowing and doing more expand the skiing experience, knowing only one way to do it severly limit the skiing experience.

[@MrDanAng1]

Thanks Tomas, I really liked the video, great tips! I'm a ski instructor myself, I'm going to use the tip to think about the skis as a trampoline. 👍 A small mistake you made, an advanced skier are not using the most canting and batteling the most forces at the apex of the turn, but right before the transition into the next turn. (You can look at yourself at 4:20 in this video, you do it correct, but describe it incorrect.) Hope this help you as much as you just helped me. Have a great day in the slopes! ❤

I really like the ideas and completely agree. The difficulty arises whereas a lot of advanced skiers know this, they just don't do it cause we are lazy :-). So the problem here is two fold, you have to know, but then you have to be in good enough shape to execute consistently.

[@johnmccormack7360]

Great tips! I love the one about being patient in the moguls. Its so true and one I have to relearn every year it seems. Balance is so important. Being back rarely seems to be good (if ever), being forward sometimes helps greatly (pond ice). Applying your balance the right way at the right time is key it seems to me. And i love park and ride on a nice blue groomer! It reminds me why I paid so much for my skis lol But I get what your saying about not extending upwards. At a clinic I went to, the instructor said to fall across your skis into the next turn. It works well and helps you drive into the next turn.Geez skis are so great now! I love all these tips and thinking about them while I ski. Thanks so much

[@dasalpengluhen1747]

Thank you for the video! Corona is awful - but a little advantage is to have time to dabble with the theory of skiing a little bit more. :) From my p.o.v. some of the mistakes can be summerised under the challenge, that too many and even advanced or good skiers do not really know how to regulate pressure - along the ski (forwards/backwards) as well as on the feet. I would like to place a stronger focus on moving too much forward, because a lot of mistakes could be a result of that. I see a lot of advanced or even better skiers who experiment hardly concerning the transition of the turn. And they fail and ask: „what is the reason why I can´t give enough pressure on the outside ski and fall backwards - allthough I try to change the COM on the new outside ski early and move forward so strongly?“ And there are armies of ski instructors, who always preach: „move forward on the toes“. And they try to help with a lot of stuff like „retract the skis“, „move the COM much earlier to the new outside ski“, „more angulation“ etc… But in the end: a lot of guests are desperated, because all that stuff doesn`t help concerning the specific problem. The error chain starts with the transition. Of course it always depends on the analysis of the individual movements. But very often the fundamental mistake is to move forward even too much. Why? First: Moving too much forward creates an overpressure on the tip of the ski - and increases instability. At least I get a kind of a „rebound“ right after the start of the turn. And there is definetely not the point, where we want to be rebounded. This arises in falling inside and backwards. The result is, what Tomas describes as „washing out“ oder „skidding“, which means pushing the heals outwards. You can also feel this quite well when you try to ski the turn just on the outside food. I have to get a platform under me. Second: It leads to an extreme instable position. If I move forward really explosively I have to be an absolute expert to find a stable position on the outside ski - and I have to be able to compensate this along the turn. But 99 % of skiers can`t turn the skis balancing all the weight on the toes. I would have to keep the position until the radius of the ski does it´s work. Of course steep slopes necessitate a stronger move forward to compensate the sharper descent. But we still do not need to balance on the toes. Again: I have to get a platform under me. Third: If we think about the definition „reduce the angle of the ankle in the transition“ we find another reason why we should not move to much forward. Most skiers push the heals up, if they want to move forward. This might be ok for an expert, who is able to reduce the angle even if he pushes the heals up. But advanced skiers push themselves much more up instead of to the front. And this raises the angle of the ankles. Have a look at the video at about 1:50 and 2:35 bring all this together: by adjusting and releasing the pressure I already raise the angle of my ankles. So I don`t need to do it even more in the transition. Instead of this I have to start to reduce the angle again towards my platform. One example for a wrong advice: retracting. Why does retracting doesn´t work for those skiers who fall inside und backwards though there is a significant move forward? Easy answer: If I have the problem to move forward too much, retracting is a kind of a boost. But we need to learn how it feels to have the COM in the centre of the ski. From my p.o.v. the first step should be to get a feeling of a platform under me. Watch here to get a better idea of this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYqzqXtrdtCoe6M The transition should start with a solid contact by the shin to the front of the boot along the whole turn. I have to learn how to be able to adjust the pressure in relation to the slope. This should be the leading idea. Moving forward doesn´t help without learning how to hold the COM in the centre of the ski in the course of the turn. Especially advanced skiers know, they have to move forward, but have no idea how much, why, when and where they have to adjust the position. The solution: A lot of those skiers get my following advice: „After you have started to build up pressure under your foot, push the new outside foot forward and maintain this idea up to the next transition“. I´ve been told that during my own training courses for German ski instructor, because I worked so hard on moving forward until it was too much. What has to happen: The easiest way to move the COM to the new outside foot effectively, strongly and early in the transition is to increase the contact of the shin to the boot towards pressure - this works by moving the knee forward and down (or the exact definition again: reduce the angle of the ankle in the transition). First important result: my lower body is working instead of the upper body. When the weight reaches the front ball of the outside foot (not the toes!) and I feel the pressure right under my foot, I start to push the new outside foot slightly forward in direction of the new turn. The idea is to stop thinking about moving forward as an end in itself. I`ve been told: „Start to concentrate on the pressure and how to adjust the pressure!“ So I learned to „steer“ the ski much more instead of „being driven“ by the ski and to adjust the pressure in relation to any condition. And I can create a nice forward/backward-regulation along the whole turn more automatically. Side effect: no „parking-position“, because I can „feel“ the „trampoline“ right under my feet. Furthermore the COM remains on the outside ski from the beginning of the turn up to the next transition. Pushing the outside ski slightly forward also helps to solve a lot of other mistakes: It makes the lead change more naturally and less extremely - otherwise there is the next error source, because extreme lead change leads to fall inside as well. It makes me learning to start the movement bottom-up. If I concentrate on holding contact to the front of the boot and create early pressure to the snow, I also remain in a less extended position. And the angulation is much more effective and naturally, if I do not move to much forward, because very often the angulation starts too late by moving forward too strong. The upper body isn`t stable any more. Instead of this the hip falls inside very early and/or the upper body is tipping to the front. One advice - maybe a lot of solutions. What do you think about this? And sorry for the excessing elaboration :) So, again: Thank you for the video. It´s a great idea to connect the first three mistakes in one video. I know, you want to sell your products and competence ;) But those videos make it even easier, I think ;)

[@elliottdiedrich3068]

After watching only a few of your turns, I knew that I wanted to see this video. You make some excellent points but I think that the most important one, especially for the truly advanced skier, is about over extending during the transition. A lot of energy is lost raising your body mass upward when that energy can be used to move your feet to the other side. In keeping the upper body quiet and smooth, transitions can become lightning fast and all of the best racers have fast transitions. Again, great tips and you make beautiful turns.

[@CarvSki]

Thanks for your valuable input and positive feedback Elliott! The point about over-extension in the transition is not always discussed yet very relevant some skiers.

[@celine_gjraffe]

I didn't have a lesson since 25 years. This confirms what i thought and removes old tips from good hearthed advisors in my youth. Such as leaning forward. I developed my own way through the years based on my instincts. Nice to have them confirmed. Thank you very much!. Hello from Fiss.

Your style of carving the slopes is so much hypnotyzing! First "mistake" about park and ride probably is called where I live a decorative carving which is good only for flat slopes or wet snow.

I’ve been skiing all my life basically but due to having to move.. I don’t get out as much anymore because there is not a lot of good mountains where I am. But skiing is like riding a bike. Or even easier. Once you know how it comes back quickly.. at least for me. But this video hit the nail on the head when it comes to riding down the first few runs when I’ve not skied in a while. In my mind I’m usually thinking to keep forward. Weight gets transferred to the balls of my feet and when turning I look exactly like his example of what leaning too far forward can do. The rear of my skis slip around in the turn and it isn’t the beautiful carve I want. Now, I feel too advanced to take lessons but I haven’t been progressing. This video I believe showed me exactly what’s wrong. I didn’t know you could be too forward.. so, can’t wait to try out balancing on my whole foot..crossing my fingers.

Choosing to park and ride is a certainly a fun way to get around the mountain if you just want to cruise around. Racers, however, do a whole lot more than a park and ride shave off a few milliseconds in a big race! Have a great ski season and stay motivated!

[@richardelder256]

Excellent series of tips, Thomas. In my own teaching I like to encourage students to mix up their turn rhythm to escape the "park & ride syndrome. Not so much as going from long radius turns to short radius as changing the rhythm. Like turnnnn, turnnnn, turn, turn, turn, turnnnn. Without the long static traverse between turns but instead involving the energy in the ski to initiate the new turn changes the series into a dance instead of a march. Much more fun! I see very advanced skiers producing videos where they crank out 50 turns down a billiard smooth slope, every one exactly the same. I used to date a national level master's ski racer. She called that style gerbil skiing---.

love the tip of mixing up rhythm. it looks better as well!

[@losiento4610]

Very detailed explanations, highly appreciated. I didn´t know Park and Riding was a mistake till now. I will for sure try and focus on balance as I tend to lean a bit too far forward when skiing, the tripod analogy is a great way to explain the different pressures and where you should be aiming to focus your weight on. I am currently 17 and next year I am planning on becoming a level 1 ski teacher, it is useful to know where I can self improve in my skiing. Thanks a lot

[@audas]

Keeping the head low, and not rising too much is something I learned a few years ago from youtube some really old classic teaching videos - it was detailing the best techniques of the world champs in slalom. I adopted this and it COMPLETELY changed my skiing. I can't recommend this enough. I now keep my head almost totally at level and swing underneath it as a pendulum and its a very different experience. The bumps tip seems incredibly good too. Extending into the bump rather than lifting the legs prematurely. Ski pressure on the tripod is hard. Something to consider is try controlling the ski with the back foot - and then the front - this really allows a strong understanding of skiing through the foot.

[@Federer935]

Great video - well presented thank you. It is easy for these faults to creep into ski performance. To be aware of them means skiers can self check and avoid them.

[@CarvSki]

No problems Zhenpeng, We hope the tips help you out next time you hit the slopes!

[@thomaslindberg5752]

Fantastic tips. I have problem absorbing the bumps. Gonna work on that för sure.

[@CarvSki]

Glad to hear that you are loving the tips Thomas. Let us know how you go next time you are attacking the bumps. Good luck!

[@ivorfried3385]

Great tips. He seems to have analysed my skiing without ever meeting me! ;-)

[@CarvSki]

Hahah, Well all the best putting these tips into practice next time you go skiing! ⛷

[@laricag1]

When turning to the left or right, does the inside leg go slightly forward by about 10 centimeters or is this wrong and the legs should be parallel all the time

[@kyleschulz2316]

Your inside/uphill ski should travel forward slightly while applying slight forward pressure into the same ski. Weight shifts overall to the outside/downhill ski.

[@Nikodzubit]

Спасибо! Советы отработал! Чётко! Главное держать плавный переход, и не заваливаться! И поддерживать ходовой маятник, и не напрягать ноги, особенно поджимную- которая выходит чуть вперёд другой-опорной на дуге!

[@joemygawd]

Wouldn’t mind a vid explaining what my carv device is telling me what to do out on the mountain. I’m not familiar with some of the terms that are being thrown my way.

[@CarvSki]

joemygawd we are about to publish this next week. Stay posted for an email from our team. 👌

Pěkně Tome, hezké video. Tak snad zítra v Lienzu to tam všechno bude ;) jak má.

[@richardelder256]

Great pointers Tomas! Perhaps for 3.0 you could go deeper into the differences between the common up release and the Harb style of relaxing/retracting the outside (stance) leg to initiate the crossover of the body mass to the start of the new turn. If we study the best of World Cup skiers we can see how much they use counteraction at the start of their turn transitions too speed up/smooth their initiations. Marchel Hirscher was the master, but Alexis Pinturault uses the same technique.

[@paul-akers]

Amazing lesson extremely clear super helpful I will practice all of this tomorrow thank you

[@CarvSki]

Thanks for the feedback Paul, We are very happy to hear that you found the clip useful! Let us know how you go testing out all these tips today and have fun.

[@paul-akers]

Practice the techniques and they were very effective I need about 10 more days to fully ingrained them into what I’m doing but super helpful!

[@jask320]

I miss SOLDEN !!!! One of my favourites ski resorts in the WORLD, and I don't overestimate! Right now I'm in Canada and I can compare with the best Canadian BIG3 Rockies, views are amazing but North America is so way behind in development, slopes maintenance, lifts... Come to Canada for freeride, but if you like a perfect snow velvet in the morning, come to Austria!

[@CarvSki]

Sölden is definitely one of the best resorts we've visited for filming! If you know your way around Sölden, you'll also find some good freeriding. Maybe not the same awesome tree skiing that Canada has to offer though ⛷⛷

[@jasonfrost5025]

The difference in the U.S. is definitely pretty wild. The super expensive resorts have nice slopes, but then you have local areas that are just awful. It's hard to find consistency without spending $300 every time you ski. I do envy other parts of the world that make skiing/snowboarding a way of life. Here, it's just a snooty social status thing half the time.

[@jask320]

@@jasonfrost5025 100 percent true

[@mind_biscuit]

Tomas you have a really nice style. Thanks for some awesome tips.

[@CarvSki]

We are very happy to hear you Enjoyed the clip and tips. Tomas certainly knows how to tear it up and look well composed while doing so!

[@pureangling627]

Best video out there helped me a ton!

[@CarvSki]

Awesome, thank you for the feedback!

[@urbanrunoff]

excellent and good reminders. Park and ride is a good one, and too forward is def. something I was and still sometimes am guilty of (especially in very technical terrain) , harder boots really helped me.

[@CarvSki]

Thanks for your feedback! Hopefully Tomas's tips about improving a 'park and ride' and 'forward balance' will help your progression next time you are out on the slopes. We hope you are having an awesome winter so far!

[@MMedemblik]

Longer ski’s will help as well

[@toshiodaira7269]

Does anyone know which model of the picture organic jacket he's wearing

[@podunkman2709]

I love your tips. "P&R" is first of all dangerous for other skiers.

[@CarvSki]

Yes this is in some cases true especially when the piste is busy! Staying aware of your surroundings should always remain high up on everyone's priority list when cruising the slopes.

[@shaka2012]

Awesome, thanks indeed

[@surferdude44444]

I'm a slacker and I park and ride a lot on groomers. Just trying to save energy for bumps and steeps. Great tips on the moguls. From now on I'm gonna let me work the bumps instead of the bumps working me.

[@CarvSki]

Thanks for the feedback! Remember, stay patient, and as you mentioned work the bumps, not the other way around ⛷️ Have a great season!

[@marcofarsheed4527]

Great tips! Thank you!

No problems at all Marco, Have a great winter!

[@thepixelatedpie]

I’ve never looked at ski tutorials before so I wanted to see if there was something i could improve on. For some reason I assumed it would be done by a sloppy skier, but this guy really has good posture.

[@sherryhuang3700]

I will definitely pay attention to tip 3 next time!

[@CarvSki]

We're glad you found the content useful Shuran! Good luck using the tips Tomas suggested for point 3. Have an awesome winter.

[@andrewzhai8312]

Thanks carv! Can you make a video on how to tackle moguls?

[@CarvSki]

No problems Andrew, We do have a very interesting clip coming up about short turns! Moguls is also on our shortlist so we do our best to film something towards the end of the season when the bumps are nice and soft.

[@tonyallred9006]

Thanks for the tips for advanced skiers. Moguls tips in the same,simple 3 or 4 summary would be fantastic. Thanks
