6 Key Skiing Drills for Carving, PART 2

[@swisskiwi1478]

Best ski carving tutorials I’ve seen! Clear, easy to understand and visual demonstrations are just excellent. Thank you from someone who, frustrated with not being able to keep up with my kids, started taking ski carving lessons at 60. Your tutorials will take the fun I’m having to a whole new level! THANK YOU!

Thank you! :) Have fun skiing! Klaus

Brilliant instructions. Extremely well explained with technical details. That mountain bike compensation analogy really made the point. THANK U.

[@KlausMair]

Thank you for your comment! I am happy you liked the video 🙂 Have a great winter! Klaus

One of the very best lessons on carving I've ever watched! I'm looking forward to the next part. Well done!

[@KlausMair]

Thank you! 😊👊

Klaus always the best ski teacher

[@tedwang6898]

I have been waiting for this clip for a while. Well done!!!

[@KlausMair]

Thank you :)

Indeed brilliant instructions. Just waiting for the time again tobe able to test your advice in ski paradises of Austria. Here in north 🇫🇮 our slopes are bit short, max 2 km, mostly 1 km on average. There at Stubai gletcher in 2018 the longest run was amazing 10,5 km with over 1,5 km height difference . Well, the carving section was only 4km of that, but long enough to exhaust all the muscles.

Thank you!🙂 At Silvretta Montafon / Schruns, Hochjoch you can ski from 2400m down to 700m you can see parts of the run in this clip: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJ-Qg59ubs-IZ9k Greets, Klaus

I love the bit at the end where you magically drift to the side when the list appears

Nice video. Thanks very much. Can't wait to see the next part which i believe is more crucial.

And, we are still waiting😊

[@benhabibs952]

you are amazing instructor. I will like to attend your school.

[@helenkapma2880]

Very helpful

[@klausi4781]

Es sieht immer alles sehr Klasse aus auf den glattgebügelten pisten, aber meistens sind sie augewühlt

[@KlausMair]

Es sollte auch auf weniger glatten Pisten klappen und Spaß machen. Alles eine Frage der Technik und der Übung.

Do you have part 3? Thanks

Will come soon. Sry have been too busy coaching. :) vimeo.com/ondemand/coachingtakacarving

Klaus This part 2 and part 1 is awesome. As an owner of your original DVD set you talk a lot on up and forward, up and forward. Question I have can you breakdown that saying up and forward. When you say forward do you mean let your upper body fall down the fall line as your lower body rolls into inside the turn

[@KlausMair]

Thank you for your feedback. The up and forward refers to how we want to initiate in our basic turn. So not just to stay low or move to the inside of the turn, but to release the edge and move forward, or let yourself be pulled in the direction you want to go, downhill towards the fall line. This is more of an active extension at times and sometimes more of a passive letting yourself be pulled by the force. Detailed explanations can be found on Blue to Powder where there are three chapters dedicated to the turn initiation. Also in Coaching Taka i have a few chapters on this. Greets, Klaus

[@PlaneImpactGolfStoneridge]

Great video, question does the leaning in where you feel the inside ski correspond to angulation of the upper body ,these two movements are at the same position in the turn

[@KlausMair]

Thank you. No they happen in a sequence, first the lean then we angulate more with the forces getting bigger. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m163cn6Cdr2fo7s Important also to note that doing it like this is just one way of getting inclined. We use it here as a drill to improve various things. But also in the other ways the inclination happens first and then we shift the weight more on the outside.
