I am so excited to finally see some videos for learning to ski steeps. So many videos focus on carved turns on groomers. I am a pretty good skier and can handle most any black run but totally fall apart on double blacks. Now I finally know why. I have been trying go carve turns and get going way too fast. I am really excited to see this series of videos and hope to finally overcome my problems with super steep runs. Makes total sense now that I hear an expert explain it. Thank you !

Thanks for your series of sessions for steep slopes. I began to ski in porte du soleil area one month ago, and thanks to your videos, I can come down from any kind of black piste from porte du soleil.

[@blameitonben]

Coming back to this (having watched it before) so I ski steep trees better. Awesome video and recommendations for drills.

[@venturewithcraig8535]

Excellent video thanks for putting the time into this!

[@BILEAK]

Incredible explanation--thanks so much

[@geniusmarcsays2434]

amazing channel, glad i arrived here

Why it’s so easy when you do it 😀. Thanks a lot for sharing 🙏👍👌.

[@maureensayer2720]

music is superb

[@Toschh]

Great video! 👍👍

[@sicontrol]

Thanks for good videos ~!

[@naughteedesign]

i'm terrified i'll be used for one of the 'how not to ski' videos

[@mdawwg123]

"Can you believe it? They wanted to film ME!"

[@theopinson3851]

I mean that would basically be free personal coaching.

😂

[@alessandrofiorotto9814]

This videos has helped so much with a ski boot flex debate. Could I ask what is your height & weight and what flex are those ski boots? Thanks for the great vids.

[@jaxxxzavier6147]

I know Im asking randomly but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account..? I somehow forgot the password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me

[@lukafinnley3765]

@Jaxx Xzavier instablaster =)

[@topaloviclaki8664]

great tip

[@seangehrke3133]

Dang I thought this was gonna be the game steep but this is cool

[@TheSkiAcademy]

Glad you liked it all the same! That game looks ace!

[@samwadman4362]

Nice video. You talk about flex, but wondered if you had noticed difference with the swing weight and length of skis?

[@haris.mushtaq]

2:38 Painted me right there :)

[@raymondgilkie2551]

My boot stiffness rating is 100. They flex well in warmer temperatures and at the beginning of the ski session. As the temperature drops they become like rocks.

[@zhitaoli4702]

Thank you for this amazing video! One question: is the ankle reflex you explained the video related to the "FleX index" of ski boots? Do harder (and presumably for more advanced) ski boots make it harder to make this move?

[@TheSkiAcademy]

A bit of both. There is the natural range that you have in your ankle joint outside of a ski boot and how mobile you are through that movement. Then there is the flex index of the boot. It's important that both of these factors work well together. So for example a bad match would be if you have an immobile or weak ankle joint but a high rated flex index of a boot, that combination would be difficult to get the most out of your equipment and body.

[@piotrbadowski9135]

keep your tips on the snow babe🤣😇

[@somphothbsiratsamy3748]

Yeah, I sprained my knee for the very first time in my life today from skiing the very first time on challenge mnt

[@Nordicjumper]

When you start your hop, which leg should you use to pump yourself up? Downhill or uphill?

[@buddhism1019]

make me want to get on the slope. Thanks

[@nareksaribekyan]

Thanks for the nice video! What flex index would you recommend for this type of skiing? With 80-90 flex boots I find myself jumping in between turns almost involuntarily, while stiffer boots with ~110 flex index don't allow me to do the same (but I feel much more aggressive on those)

[@TheSkiAcademy]

Ideally, a slightly stiffer boot would be better as it will allow you to take bigger shocks and deal with the increasing forces around you.

[@xmnemonic]

i can do this in my AT setup (very lightweight), my resort kit is twice as heavy and it's very hard to jump as high as he does.

[@xmnemonic]

@rorschachh ? i think about killing myself every day.

[@ChickenKhorma]

Get stronger then!

[@larrymogen6943]

What about ice?

[@somphothbsiratsamy3748]

Accidentally went on the wrong lift but I did it

[@Skedawg88]

Good video but that backpack places the weight higher and impacts the center of mass negatively.

[@MrDogonjon]

Why demonstrate with a back pack. All your examples wear back packs too. Back packs make you rotate defensivly because the mass affects your balance rearward. you compensate by rotating turns.

[@Bushwackerinpa]

dude your not in balance and aft. Your alignment is also off as well, boot are too upright and your knocked kneed.

[@mbal4052]

And here folks we have another 'Internet Expert' 👏👏

[@rudimatt4218]

What's with all the brits in the alps? Everyone knows brits can't ski, except Ryding, he's pretty good.

[@debbiejones2105]

Rudi Matt no Brits. No ski resorts. Fact.
