"Excellent!" One of a small handful of KZbin videos, I have watched in the past 10 years, that actually teaches skiing correctly. One added tip. Keep your hands on the handlebars of the bike and point the front tire down the hill when you want to start the new turn. This will help to roll that uphill ski over onto the inside edge to start it turning and it keeps your upper body weight over the front of your skis.

Brilliant! Yes, this is a great tip for initiating the turn and and keeping rotational seperation. Hopefully see you on the slopes some time soon?

@@Skinewgen Skiing is incredibly easy to understand and do!!! Every step you take is based on the confidence you have built up on the previous step. Here is the single most important thing to remember. Do Not thinking about turning! If you do, you will move all the wrong parts of your body to Make a turn happen. The skis turn you; you do not turn your skis. You do what they need, and they will make the turns for you. Just do the following and only the following. Practice at the bottom of the hill, sliding while standing on both feet. You are standing on the pedals of a bicycle with your hands on the handlebars. Stop with a Snowplow. Then practice balancing on one foot after the other and stopping with a snowplow. You don't have to lift your feet off the ground. Change your weight like pedaling a bike. Sometimes it's better to think of getting off a pedal rather than standing on a pedal. I like thinking of getting off a pedal and then thinking of my weight on the other one. Try thinking about that both ways. Then practice traverses while balancing on your downhill arch. When you are confident doing that, point the front tire of the bike down the hill and get off that downhill arch and balance on the uphill arch. You have just made a parallel turn. Now do the same thing for the next turn. Point the front tire down the hill and get off the downhill arch and balance on the uphill arch. So how do you slow down once you have started a turn? You have two brake pedals. The tongue of your boot and your, inside-the-turn hip. Press your knees froward so you feel your shin pressing against the tongue of the boot. This transfers weight off the tail, so it slides around easier, and loads the tips which are the Steering Tires of your skis. The skis will turn into the slope and slow you down or stop you. If you are going very fast or on a steeper slope, lean your hip into the turn which increases your leg angle which puts the ski more on edge so it can bend more over its entire length. Want to make carved turns? Imagine you have a stool on your right side, and you want to rest your cheek on the edge of it. Lift your Right foot, lift your Right cheek and slide it over onto the edge of the Right stool. The farther you slide it over, the steeper the leg angle. By lifting your cheek, you are forcing your upper body to stay vertical which helps to stay balanced on that outside turning ski. Do not under any circumstances, ski with your feet apart and just bend your knees to the side to carve a turn. Why? Glad you asked! Stand up and bend your knees to the right for a right turn. Which foot is your weight on? Your right foot! Which foot are you supposed to be standing on for a right turn? Your left foot! Once you have mastered these moves, you know everything you need to ski as a beginner all the way to world class racer. All the moves are the same, only the degree of the movements vary. Now that was pretty easy to understand and remember, right?
