At about 7:40 you had a near fall. When I switched to skiing on Mantra M5s a few years ago I had to teach myself to lift the inside ski in transition to turn on short turns. If I don’t then occasionally I’ll catch that inside edge and it will throw me. I can occasionally see you lift both heels when initiating that short in the transition. It’s the same technique I’ve had to learn in order to stay up on my skis. Hope this makes sense as I’m not a professional. Great channel! I watch all the time for tips and tricks and I’m in my mid 60s.

Always cool when you have a new video! You didn't by any chance have Carv running when you fell? My guess is that you had too much weight on the inner ski. It looked an awful like the classical error the pros does in slalom.

[@dasroteeichhornchen8346]

Thats a really awsome concept!! What confuses me is the forward movement. If the first third of the turn is carved, and only the second third is steered, does that nor mean I have to stay centered in the (carved) first third and not move forward at the start of the new turn? And you mentioned that “the body takes a shortcut” to get forward, I don´t get that (if the skis go to the outside and my body is”cutting” the turn will it not get to the back instead of the front)?

Thanks for this instruction. I often wonder if how-to-carve videos always have skiers on relatively narrow waisted/parabolic skis. But I ski in western Canada and all my skis are wide waisted. Do these instructions still apply or is it a waste of time with wider all-mountain skis ?

[@GenoSalvati]

I'm 5'5" and I use these techniques with skis that are 93 wide and 189 long.

[@bearclaw5115]

It's going to depend on the skis. Do they have a short radius for a pow ski? A lot of camber underfoot? Metal? I think you can use the same techniques with such skis. The results would be better on a dedicated carving ski though.

[@benjaminbjacobsen]

it's about the radius not the waist width. Width will add a slight delay adge to edge but since we're not racing it's not a big deal. Radius will determine if you can carve a turn with this shape (16m or less radius) or if you'll have to skid this shape turn no matter what (20m+). I ski on 3 skis for this reason, line blades, 181cm, 13.5m radius, armada stranger, 180cm, 15.8m radius and fatypus m5s, 188cm, 15m radius. The blades are the narrowest underfoot at 95 but also have the widest shovels. The armadas and fatypus are both 100mm+ underfoot.

[@obi-john218]

For anyone looking for a short-radius carver without having to deal with the demands and restrictions of an FIS slalom, I would recommend my two favorite carving skis. The Head e-SLR which has an 11.5 meter radius in a standard slalom length of 165 or the more versatile Head e-Original which has a 12.1 meter radius in a longer 170 length. Both have quick 66 mm waists and two sheets of metal without being overly stiff.

[@gogglebro9421]

Jens, does the sharp steering movement cutting across the fall line create the weight shift toward the ski tips that at the same time releases the tails so that they skid a bit?

[@StompItTutorials]

Not sure what you mean.

[@gogglebro9421]

@@StompItTutorials Jens, I reviewed my question and can see that its confusing. I should be able to answer my own question performing a movement analysis. // Marshall

[@davesmulders3931]

No, the moment you transition from turn to turn, the ski's actually carve. On the midpoint of the turn, the skis already slide. What causes the slide is your weight being forward in the turn. Actually it's really easy to feel/replicate. If you shift your balance forward throughout the whole turn, your tails will slip. Just make turns with your balance way way forward.... you'll end up going backwards because your tails slip out while your tips go up the mountain. The hard part is to find the balance: how much forward do you need for a little slip? And when will you shift balance backwards to your tails again, and at which rate to grip in time before the end of the turn? Because getting the tails to slide is quite easy, but most people with brushed turns cannot go into a full carve at the end of the turn because they slipped out too much. That is a very inefficient way as your transition gets slaughtered.

[@gogglebro9421]

@@davesmulders3931 Dave, I don’t believe Jen's purpose was to create a skid. My understanding is skidding in a short radius turn is the result of overturning the skis, making the turn radius tighter than the inherent turning radius of the ski. I was questioning Jens because he said something about the steering action lightening the tails, which I didn't comprehend.

[@davesmulders3931]

@@gogglebro9421 Yeah, you obviously miss the point I'm afraid. You lighten the tails, so that they skid. There is no other reason to lighten the tails. How would you make the banana shape if you cannot skid the ski? The whole point of the video is to show a controlled skid in every turn, for smaller turn radius and additional speed control.

[@freetas11]

Hi, I wonder how tall are you and how long is your carv ski. What is the perfect length to manage ski so easy? Thanks! ;-)

[@bearclaw5115]

A shorter ski will be easier to turn and be a lot of fun in perfect conditions. Longer skis will have a smoother ride, better edge grip on firm, icy slopes and generally be faster. The better your skills, the bigger you are and the faster you go will all point you towards a longer ski. For frontside carving purposes a 160cm would be short, a 180cm would be long. If you don't know where you stand on the spectrum go for a 170cm. Have fun!

Do I need to swap out my all mountain skis for piste skis to learn to carve properly? Im starting to think it's my limiting factor to further progress but it's probably my skiing and not the skiis?

[@jarnold1789]

I don’t personally think that you need to, but I’m no pro. Having a ski with a shorter turn radius (something like 17-19m) helps a lot in my opinion. Regardless of what ski you’re on you can always improve, don’t let yourself get too much into the mindset of thinking you need different equipment to get better. Keep at it!

[@StompItTutorials]

Probably its your technique thats lacking and not the gear. Changing to a pure piste ski can help but you still need to put in the training.

[@jamesrosenberg1612]

i had this problem too, all mountain skis can carve but you gotta keep more speed going to actually get them to work properly. They're stiff and the side-cut radius makes a huge turn if u wanna carve without skidding.

[@iceicebabys]

@@jamesrosenberg1612 thanks. This makes a lot of sense to me. Have definitely been finding a need to pick up a lot of speed. I felt my long sweeping carves were okay but I've been struggling more with consistent short turns. I'm sure a better skiier could force the short turns but it's probably not optimal to learn this way... I will keep at it regardless! But maybe I'll treat myself to some new skiis at some point :)

[@atlastunderconstruction3523]

Do some drills. Try turns where you balance entirely on the outside ski and the inside ski is lifted 100% off the snow. If it's hard, then your balance is probably off. Alternately, try skiing only on one ski. Another option is to ski slowish parallel turns, focus on your edge change and see if you can get both skis to change edges at the same time and rate. That's a start. :)

What's the difference between a short turn and a carving turn? When should we use one over the other? What are the advantages of the short turn? It's a great tutorial but I was left with so many questions...

[@theopinson3851]

He mentioned it briefly when talking about couloirs. Short turns have much tighter radii (shorter turns), so you can control your speed in tight terrain like moguls, couloirs, trees, etc.

[@lanceadams2408]

It's like a different gears for different terrain. You could consider short turns as low range on a 4x4. The idea is to keep control not have the speed run away.

[@davesmulders3931]

Well it's quite easy to imagine. Carved turns are restricted in radius by the ski's radius, and are the most efficient as it is the way with the least friction. So when do you need short turns? When you want a shorter/tighter turn, and when you want to brush off some speed. In a carved turn you can control speed by angulation in the lower part of the turn and effectively holding the turn longer in the lower part (in contrast to angulation in the top part: this will actually propel you down the hill faster). If that range of control of speed is not enough, you will need to do a short turn and litterally brush off speed with the tails of your ski. And the other obvious reason to use a short turn is when you are in a narrow space: you let your ski's slip at the back to make the turn shorter. The third reason to use a short turn is when it is very icy. The angulation needed for your ski's to be able to come to their designed radius, is sometimes too flat for the grip you have on the hardpack/ice. So you'll effectively turn your 13m slalomskis into 35m GS skis. By sliding your tails, you can still maintain a shorter turn shape, while not having to risk your skis sliding away underneath of you. Like what happened to Jens. It is true that you probably could make it stick/carve on icy hardpack, but you'll need to sharpen your skis every other day and probably run a 87 to 85 degree sidewall for that, and a consistent 0.5 degree tuning (not a radial tuning where it flares off). You need a torsion-stiff ski for that as well. You effectively then made your ski into a race ski and it'll only want to carve no matter the conditions. So that is why us mere mortals use a short turn.

[@cachadanallada]

Thank you all, for the insightful responses!

[@theopinson3851]

@@davesmulders3931 great explanation! Do you mind explaining what you meant about angulation in the top part making you go faster? I can kind of picture what you mean from personal experience but I’m trying to wrap my head around why it causes acceleration and not deceleration.

It is not all technique n my opinion. Skis that are designed with a shorter Radius Turn will naturally turn sharper, shorter turns if you are carving...not skidding your turns.
