Going from advanced to elite | How body alignment can transform your skiing

If a world-class instructor watched you ski past, what's the one piece of advice they would give to help transform your skiing?
We've teamed up with Carv Ambassador and APSI Level 4 instructor Tom Gellie to bring you another episode of our Carv Technique Teardown series.
In today’s lesson Tom takes a look at some skiing footage submitted by Renzo. Renzo is looking to improve his technique - he's an advanced skier, but there are a few big unlocks that can transform his technique.
Tom identifies some valuable learning points which can help a lot of advanced skiers:
- Learning to engage the edge early
- Using body alignment to create a stable structure
- Being smooth and patient in the turn
Do you want your own data on Early Edging or Edge Similarity?
