HOW TO SKI IN ALL CONDITIONS | 5 Turn Types

Skiing never gets boring!
But sometimes you need some fresh motivation to help break free of old habits, try something new and keep things exciting.
If you are the type of skier who does the same turn type day after day, then this video is going to give you a few good ideas to challenge yourself on your next skiing trip.
Why is this topic important?
The mountains are always changing, and the ability to adapt your turn types to different terrain, weather and snow conditions will give you the confidence to ski efficiently no matter what challenges come your way. You'll be more motivated to ski new areas, explore different terrain, and in general, will be become a more rounded versatile skier.
We teamed up with NZSIA Demo team member Yusuke Inoue to run us through his 5 favorite turn types on a beautiful day up at Treble Cone in New Zealand. For each turn type, we made sure to highlight a common mistake and give a quick tip so that you have something to focus on next time you are trying it out.

It would be nice to see a video about, long turns in the powder, turns when the top of the powder is frozen and switch turns.

[@jannoheckl8626]

Or how to ride moguls

[@theredrover3217]

LOL moguls (see above) like uncatable traverses are enjoyable only early in the season, before the holiday hords descend. I will say downweighted carving, with the right ski, for me. 😉

[@theredrover3217]

@@OKuusava Video of what? Haven't been looking for much, this instruction showed up when I was looking for Something else and I started watching them out of curiosity. 😏 Haven't run across anything mentioning fat skiis but wouldn't really expect to where I pursued. 😏 All I know lol is some people have told me they like them.

I love this video also!! Yusuke is the one of the best skiers in Japan and he is the proud of all skiers in Japan.

[@LHuang-gy5de]

I love his teaching!

[@kuanjuliu]

The tips here complement well the more standard Carv videos elsewhere. Wonderful!

[@dennisgoetz3521]

One of the best summaries of the different types of turns -- well done!

[@jenparsnip2158]

Super helpful video! I really appreciate your extremely efficiently presented, useful tips. Thank you!

[@NovaRedBaron]

Awesome video. Very good instruction from an accomplished skier. Thank you for posting.

[@S3RAVA3LM]

Perfect. The best channel.

[@rosbifsa660]

There is nothing better than Powder nothing more skilful than Bumps nothing more exhilarating than long fast carving blasting!

[@roy87345]

Some of the best instructions

[@quaye488]

What a freaking gorgeous mountain

[@snowdays1116]

THANKS FOR THE TIPS...ALWAYS LEARNING!!

[@Lee883]

Just for anyone watching these videos - if you really want to improve your skiing it's worth buying the carve unit. I've had one for a few years now and it's really helped me focus and improve my skiing. I'm not paid by carve or anything. Just a guy that loves skiing and pushing himself to his limits... And honestly carv is more helpful for that than any group development session or even private coaching. The only thing I found that gives the level of feedback and correction that carv provides on its own is when you use it in tandem with private coaching and show the coach the data after each run. If you're serious about your skiing and perfecting your technique then carv is more than worth the investment. My only complaint is they don't have a Brian Blessed or James May voice on the app (just for when I'm having fun in free ski!).

[@CarvSki]

Great to hear you're enjoying Carv!

[@gairnmclennan5876]

I got Carv this season. Skied for 20 yrs but got a lot better technically as a result of using Carv.

[@milllworks]

Excellent ambassador for Carv.

[@fivepotfury1132]

Great video! About to go skiing and this really helped!

[@gairnmclennan5876]

Thank you this is a really good video. Super examples of skiing shown. Well described by the presenter.

[@oakland439]

mindblowing landscape!

[@rule3036]

Good stuff.Thanks for posting.

[@NightSky777]

Learned some things, particularly with handling the Moguls and Powder, Thanks!

[@matthewsylvestre8256]

Excellent Instructor - Skiing Japan would be awsome!

[@jorgemiras5839]

excellent video and explanations thanks

[@TonyEarlsTrinityLawns]

Thank you, for your helpful and clear video tips. Now I must go and practice these turn types. Maybe one of these years I'll get to ski in Powder 😉

[@charlesarcher9626]

Thanks so much for the wonderful ski tips

[@regularnimnule9715]

Really helpful, thank you!

[@akihiroh1863]

He is best coach for me!

[@tomhuang1843]

Helpful and concise!

[@tmsztrsz]

awesome tutorial!

[@patrickchase5614]

Probably worth noting that there are 2 variations on what Yusuke calls a "stivot" (a notoriously ill-defined term from the world of racing). The variation he shows is a traditional one in which you steer the skis into the fall line and more or less keep them directed there, locking into a carve once your trajectory is close enough to where the skis are directed. That usually happens at or below the apex of the turn. In the other, newer variation you steer the skis more dramatically across your direction during initiation, but then counter-steer them back out and lock into the carve while still above the apex. The counter-steer in particular requires really precise balance - a lot of people fall back while skidding, and if you do that you will not be able to steer the skis back out and engage the shovel to carve through the apex. If you watch video of elite (FIS/Europa/WC) GS or SG racers you will see them doing the second variation a lot, basically any time they need to control speed. They do it so quickly that the entire steer-skid-countersteer sequence looks like a single fluid motion, and it all happens simultaneously with building edge angle above the apex.

[@alvarojneto]

My thought is provoked! Do you think you'd be able to find examples to share?

[@duncanstrachan6357]

Shiffrin is the best to watch doing that. Her timing and balance is brilliant and it's easy to see it.

[@GrumpyGrandpa1]

Excellent.

[@halmischn]

The new YT app design is incredible! Just testing the comments section haha

[@gabibratfalean8528]

Salutări din România....!!

[@gustavogiacominpinho3987]

Awesome video as usual! But also: amazing scenery and probably the most interesting accent I've heard!

[@CarvSki]

Thanks! 😃

[@gairnmclennan5876]

I think this was a great video thanks. I think much of it, is filmed at Treble Cone ski field near Wanaka and Lake Wanaka, New Zealand

[@MrSoysoysoy]

Nice turn

[@AtomicB-zq2cw]

All turn types demand the same few fundamentals of maintaining outside pressure and dynamic fore-aft balance. The rest is primarily tactical. While I find no interest in a product like CARV, this kid gives a well balanced presentation, both technical yet easy to follow, and good skiing demos (in all conditions and turn types)

[@jasonleftwrightleftsnowspo307]

Great video!

[@scarface548]

do you get low skiiq for all but one turn type?

[@BinJWu]

The short turn and stivot turn seem about the same to me. In both cases you pivot and carve?

[@nickmotion]

Is 85mm width alright for all types of turns? Getting my first skis & want them to be an all-round mountain, but honestly I ski 80-90% on-piste only. Then again I also want twin tips in order to have the freedom to ski switch/small tricks if I'd like to learn - to be more playful. (read that those skis have to be wider).

[@GatorFlash1]

What is the best turn for racing? The quick small S turn?

[@robertcourteau4320]

In racing, it’s carve until you can’t, then stivot.

[@blan3640]

Hi Carv, where is this in New Zealand?

[@samyeoski]

Cardrona 😀

[@douglasroyds66]

Treble Cone, Wanaka

[@gairnmclennan5876]

The footage with the lake is Treble Cone ski field, near Wanaka, New Zealand. winter down under is June to October :)

[@andyfrieden4079]

Don’t for get about the classic ‘Stem-Christie’ Jump Turn ski in real steep and narrow slopes🤓

[@lifebeyondrepair]

how can we ski when there is no snow?

[@sloppysteering8654]

Pocono shuffle

[@SnowCampsEurope]

Sunglasses and a ski helmet 😱

[@duncanstrachan6357]

Yeah the best combination.

[@user-qv8ls9uc5c]

めっちゃ緊張してますね。

[@KooBreeze]

What skis are used here? Brand, length and width

[@TheSafaritv]

The big mistake in moguls is try to turn between 2 moguls. The sweet point to turn is over one mogul.

Free those heels mate

You can't claim you tube guru instructor status and miss out on the best set of turns.?? 😂😂👠🍻🍻..

He's hard to understand.

[@rjvaughn]

@@OKuusava I'd rather have whatever language he is speaking, English, Finnish -- whatever -- be understandable.

[@alaincaspar2148]

I am French and I understand what he is saying...

[@rjvaughn]

@@OKuusava But even less people speak Japanese. That would greatly limit the reach of the video.

[@rjvaughn]

@@alaincaspar2148 That's great! Maybe because you have an accent you are better at listening to accents. I kept having to repeat sections to try and understand.

[@rjvaughn]

@@OKuusava Compared to English. Yes, 120 million people speak Japanese. But roughly 1.5 billion people speak English. About 12.5 times as many people. Why do you think this video is in English? The reason most Americans don't learn another language is 1.5 billion people speak English. I promise you, I understand English. It is just the case that this person in the video is hard to understand. When you are posting an educational video, it helps if it is easy to understand the person speaking. You don't have to turn this into a racist thing, or a bashing Americans thing.
