Also keep in mind that slopes are different, so you need to adjust according to the slope. Steep slopes will require sharp turns for reducing speed, wide slopes allow wide carvings, etc... So enjoy the skiing and adjust to your slope.

Part of the issue that intermediate skiers also have with carving is the top end speed you need to achieve and maintain with those wide turns on a steep slope. I think that gets overlooked a lot. When advanced skiers are carving the speed that it takes to do those wide turns is much greater than what a lot of intermediate skiers feel comfortable with.

@pete6705 9 ай бұрын

That’s a good point. I’m a former racer, and have a hard time teaching intermediate skiers how to ski, because to carve a turn properly on a steep trail really means some big speed. And that’s the only way I know how to ski

@RobBCactive 9 ай бұрын

The trick is to ski a slower line on faster runs, that's what he meant by C turns. At higher speed aerodynamic drag becomes significant, but on even a moderately steep slope maintaining control requires either braking, or reducing the effective steepness by traverses or fuller tighter rapid turns which require physical preparation and advanced skills to pull off. When I've skied any piste I'd call steep had moguls which are hard to carve through, that includes every slope I raced slalom or GS on. Why would you try teaching carving on a steep slope? It'll set up learners to fail. Using a slope where they want to ski faster maintaining speed rather than scrubbing it off encourages clean lines.

@KevinStefferDk 20 күн бұрын

Yeah I just made my first couple of carve turns last year, and what is overlooked in a lot of video howto's is speed! In the beginning I didn't feel comfortable with getting the speed it takes me to turn patiently with my low edge angle - mega scary and immediately started skidding to control speed. Later found out that there's a fine (sweet spot) correlation between the slope steepness, edge angle and turn radius. Meaning: you can't lean into the turn on a flat slope without proper speed. For me last year it was all about getting fast on a flat slope and practice and it turned into nice carving turns. As soon as I hit the red slopes I couldn't carve. Maybe this year :)

@@KevinStefferDk you doing it right, which 99% of people don''t, why i'm replying ... keep on the flat slope and master it .... when on reds, ski the top as you normally would and then when it starts to flatten out or when you feel comfortable practice the carving, do this each run til comfortable with the speed and progress, then try to start carving sooner up the run, til comfortable, then up ... til the top. Remember, the steeper it gets, the technique will have to change, just sublte changes, but , so .... be aware of that .... then go on to the next harder run .... work from the bottom to the top, will take time but is way to do it, starting from top is just asking for failure .... same with moguls, pick the last 10 moguls and when comfortable start from the next bunch, everyone starts at the top where usually steepest and ... never works ... you doing it the right way, keep it up. If can't do it on the flats, no way will be able to do on the steeper. Keep on the flats and push for speed, work on edge control and pressure, analyze and "feel" what is happening and why, get comfortable with the speed til you're bored silly with the flat speed, you can only do this on flats cuz on steep you not gonna have time to think and analyze, becuz when it steep, all you have time for is reacting to what's coming up terrain and steepness wise .... you can really motor on flats if you doing it right ... it all a matter of progression a bit at a time .... some people to look at JF Beaulieu, Rielly McGlashan, Paul Lorenz, Tom Gellie, Duncan-Smith, (type ski after their names) these are all pros but they all have videos geared to intermediate, advanced, expert, take what you can from them, you'll notice lot of times, they are "practicing" on the "flats" ... there's a reason for that ... best of luck

@patrickchase5614 11 ай бұрын

Harder snow also helps greatly once you get to a certain level of ability. Soft and especially non-uniformly soft snow allows your edges to "let go", and limits how much you can increase edge angle to tighten the carved radius. This is especially true on short+narrow specialist skis like FIS SLs or some of the shorter-radius carvers on the market. wrt the sensation of falling to the inside, my breakthrough (many years ago) was internalizing that my core and my feet must follow separate paths, and that the rest of my body's job is to keep them in the right relation. When you think of it that way "Falling to the inside" is really just a matter of lowering the core while allowing the skis to carve out from under it. The "lowering" part is really important, because a lot of people "fall to the inside" while staying too upright, and that leaves them incapable of loading up and driving the outside ski. I have to visualize my core moving _down_ close to the snow surface as my skis move out from under it. Also once you've gotten the "lowering" part down then you can build upon it by working on staying low through a quick turn transition. And of course when you're on a really steep slope and _must_ skid, the trick is to do it entirely up above the turn and steer the ski back out into the carve before the apex. That's how the racers roll.

@@youngcansuela8327 I was trying to describe how I had to "feel" upper/body separation (like 30 years ago) to develop it. That sort of thing is always a bit ideosyncratic - different people perceive it differently. Also it's one thing to say "separation" and another to internalize how to use it. There are plenty of "separated" things that I can do with my upper and lower bodies that aren't conducive to good skiing. I think that's actually a problem in how a lot of people teach/explain this.

First time I ever skiied, I was 4 years old. I’m 24 now. My skiing career started off consistent, every weekend during the winter my family would go to our vacation home in the mountains for ski trips. Grandparents got old, kids started growing up and the house was sold cause no one used it. From ages 13-20 I hardly ever went. Maybe 3 times in between. 20-24 I started going more often and consistent. So I’m no pro but I’m definitely not a novice. I feel more safe and confident skiing in between trees on a steep slope than I do carving down a mountain. When I was little I skiied with all my older cousins who pushed me to keep up with them so I feel like I’m lacking a lot of key technique that I shoulda learned as a kid. Thank you to this video I can see my weak points and I know where to strengthen for the next time I go out on the mountains.

Long time snowboarder here just started skiing, there is something very special to carve on skis vs snowboard. Skis are just so much more effective and balanced when it comes to carving. The edge feeling of carving is very similar between skiing and snowboarding. You want to feel the edge doing the job and it's a combination of edge angle, speed, and turn shape. You are working with the edge, not forcing it.

I don't think intermediate skiiers know why they want to carve. I sure don't. Almost all intermediate skiiers want to slow the heck down when the turn. In fact, that is the only reason they turn for the most part. But they don't understand that carving is pretty much only useful to turn while maintaining speed. Something that they definitely do not want to do. Want to carve? Get comfortable going fast.

@DavidCuthill-l3y Ай бұрын

"get comfortable going fast" is something that happens when you control the edge and pressure throughout the arc of the turn. From the top of the turn before the crossover, tightening the track as you approach the widest point. Expert skiers get off the outside ski early and use the inside ski (which is about to become the new turning ski) to pick up control high up in the arc. Most intermediate skiers don't get on their edges until the widest point in the turn, and then grind out the finish. They get edge-locked and have to turn uphill to slow down enough to get off the outside ski.

To my knowledge and experience, the turning radius of your Skis is determined by design, you can even fibd it written on them.

Hi, thanks for a nice video! I have a different problem though. Sometimes, when I have a bit of speed and try to do narrower turns with high edge angles, at the exit of the turn the outside ski starts breaking off of the groove, resulting in a really unpleasant feeling when it breaks out, grabs the snow again, and breaks, and grabs, etc. I understand that the edge angle is too high to skid and the downhill force is too strong to keep the ski in track, but I keep doing it and still not sure how to fix it. Any suggestions? :)
