In this beginner tutorial, you are going to learn how to ski. The goal of this tutorial is to bring you from skiing in a snowplough to parallel turns in 7 steps. Learn more in-person at our Ski Technique Camps for adults: stompittutorials.com/camps ⛷
In this video we are going to teach you how to ski in the following steps:
00:41 Prerequisites, Easy snow plough turns
00:57 1 Correct Terrain, Nursery slope
01:06 2 Turn size, make the turns bigger
01:27 2 Turn size, C-shaped
01:32 2 Turn size, Turn size to control the speed
01:49 3 More speed = more pressure, At the end of the turn absorb the pressure
02:42 4 Outside ski, Weight earlier onto the outside ski
03:02 5 Turn inside ski to parallel for the first time
03:19 5 Turn inside ski, Try the bowtie drill
04:01 5 Turn inside ski, Narrow snow plough
05:14 5 Turn inside ski, Flatten and turn the inside ski
06:09 5 Turn inside ski, Turn ski to parallel earlier
06:48 6 Parallel turns, The whole turn parallel
07:06 6 Parallel turns, Move weight forward & across the skis
07:48 7 Pole planting, in-between turns

I've been trying so hard to move from beginner to intermediate. I had mastered the parallel turn in one direction but not the other. After I watched this video and practiced the bowtie ankle twist I aced the turns, and within a few runs was racing down intermediate runs. Went from frustrated to having fun in a few runs. Thanks guys!!! Would love to buy you a beer.

Very good beginner ski progression. One of the biggest problems beginners have when starting a turn, especially from a wedge is how to get the downhill/inside ski out of the way so it doesn't lock on that inside edge and block the turn. In this video the instructor said to move their weight to the outside ski earlier in the turn which is correct but how do you do that? When a beginner skier hears that phrase they think they need to push down harder on the outside ski when a simpler solution to accomplish both getting the downhill/inside ski out of the way and moving their weight to the new outside ski is to take some weight off of the downhill ski by starting to flex their ankle and knee of the downhill ski. That move will also flatten the inside ski and make it easier to steer it into the turn. Their body weight will automatically transfer to the new outside ski without pushing down on it. Once the turn is started the old uphill ski will follow and become the new outside/downhill ski. In the ski instructing world we call this "Short Leg" / "Long Leg". Try it and see if it works for you...

i went to a small lift with a friend to ski for the first time and this was exactly my problem. i was abled to turn 'correct' with the outer ski, but the inside ski got stuck on the inner edge. my friend told me to try again v-shaped turns with completely lifting the inside ski, and that reaaally helped me understanding to correctly balance the weight on the outside ski (as you discribed in your comment). as my turns got wider i still had almost no weight on the inside ski and startet to get a feel for when i can turn it while its kinda 'surfing' without edging (i dont know if thats the correct term). far away from doing proper parallel turns after those ten runs, tho :P (im hooked!)

My own process of learning was a bit simpler than this video. While making wedge turns at higher speeds, I started to have the inside ski catch and throw off my balance. At that point I was already familiar with shifting my weight from one foot to another, so I just took that to the extreme, and completely lifted my inside ski up out of the snow. This is what I recommend to people. It makes you realize that you only ever need to be on one ski at a time, and once you are comfortable unweighting the uphill/inside ski completely, turning it parallel is easy since it isn't even touching the snow. Then you slowly back off the habit of pulling your ski clean off the snow, and learn the maximum amount of weight you can put on it and still swing it freely to keep it parallel and keep the edges from grabbing. That becomes muscle memory, and the whole mountain opens up to you

Totally normal! This sounds silly, but here's what I recommend you do: go to an easy slope and practice two things 1) your hockey stop, 2) rounding out your C turns a little more. Both of those will help you control your speed and the better you get on easier runs the more confident you'll be on steeper ones. Good luck!

Once you get a true feel for the techniques you’ll have to do a run that’s slightly out of your comfort zone. It’s like ripping a bandaid off. I was very nervous for like a year and never pushed myself to that next level. Once I did, I realized how fun it was and that I’d been missing out. Just focus on the technique and fun and you’ll be fine.

I’ll be teaching tomorrow and guaranteed I’m going to be using your progression and see how it compares with mine. I think the more methods ski coaches have to teach their students the better for learning experience. I want everyone to become lifelong skiers and enjoy being in the mountains and gliding on the snow. You do a great job and I’ll have some of my colleagues watch your vids. Many thanks, our resort is called Stevens Pass and it’s in the cascade Mountains Washington state.

This is really good! Thanks for sharing! I took my first ever ski class last Saturday (02.02.19) with ski instructor. I am intermediate level in snowboarding (I can do black slopes), but first time in skiis. I was able to do parallel turns within 40mins following the steps of this video. My instructor was not so technical as in the video and the my instructor's tips were not as detailed. It is good to have instructor though, at least for security/safety and to have two eyes looking at you for body posture correction (like leaning forward, etc..). I am very impressed by Stomp It Tutorials, really good job guys. Thanks!

From a frustrating morning on the beginner slopes I watched this at lunchtime, went back out and it clicked! Best tips, putting weight earlier on outside ski, and flatten and turn inside ski, knee out, I had a really lazy inside leg turning right and had to really focus and work it first few goes, and then it really started clicking, thank you!!

My experience level is 1 lesson deep. Went very well learning the basic wedge turn and stops but that was all we covered in my first session on the slopes. In the few beginner runs I did without an instructor after the lesson I started to narrow the wedge and try for sharper turns and it felt good. This video fills the technical gap I was missing to progress forward. Can't wait to start practicing these tips. Super clear and detailed instruction.

Just came back from skiing at Les Deux Alpes and this and the other beginner tutorials made a huge difference - I'm now completely parallel and its the first time after 3 years of learning that I enjoyed skiing - I found that finding a good slope and running that repeatedly helped the most to learn - dont try new slopes or new areas if you want to improve your technique (yes I know a bit boring..) - from the the other tutorials here as well I found getting your hips forward helped to stop backseat issues, really throwing your weight forward when facing downslope and pushing the inner knee into the slope were ground breaking....really great vids but getting your hips forward is the key if you find this hard - I moved my chest forward but not my hips and this makes alot of difference...

I took a private lesson at Sunshine AB/CAN and learned the 'staircase' technique: Imagine you're going down a staircase sideways. Keep you your upstairs hand a little higher than your downstairs hand...with that forward - angled lean you're in about the right position and on both edges. Be sure you can see your hands a bit in front of you and you probably won't end up in 'the backseat." That's all I know, and it helps me. Hope it helps you too!

All good but sometimes a few drills will help to get parallel such as tapping the tail of the inside ski or doing fan progressions which may start with tapping the tail of the uphill ski while traversing and then starting earlier and earlier in the turn. This gets em' balanced on the outside ski and lightening the inside ski so they get the sense of being able to move the inside ski around.

This video leaves off right at the point in my learning to ski where it went from a jumble of different things I had to think about to just one thing, the one thing I have never seen taught in any video. The pole plant which is minimalized in this video became the key to unlocking everything for me. The thing is, if you watch any good skier in a turn you can see that the inside ski is ahead of the outside ski. If you are turning right, then the right ski is ahead of the left. Turning left, the left ski is out ahead. Notice that whichever ski is out ahead, that knee is out ahead too. It has to be since it is attached to the ski, right? But how do you get from one ski being out ahead to the other ski being out ahead? How do you get from one knee being out ahead to the other knee being out ahead? To do that you take enough of your weight off both skis so you can make that adjustment. You "unweight" your skis, make the change, and put weight back on them. This can be done without using your poles, without planting a pole, but planting that pole is like using a key to unlock a padlock. The pole plant happens a split second before you unweight your skis. The pole gives you the tiny lift you need to take the weight off just enough to shift your skis. So to turn right, plant the right pole, lift yourself just enough to slip the right ski forward, then come back down onto your skis and voila! Both of your skis will now be on their right edge automatically. To turn left, plant the left pole, lift yourself enough to slip your left ski to the front, drop back down on your skis and voila! You are now on your left edges automatically. I picked this technique up from a book from back in the 1970's called How the Racers Ski although it took me many years of nervous frightened limited skiing before I figured it out. I get the sense that all good skiers do this and know it inside out but have long since forgotten how to teach it. In this video it would be the very next step, the step after the pole plant.
@snarkmaiden4397
@snarkmaiden4397 3 жыл бұрын
while pole planting is a really valuable skill to learn and is undoubtedly useful for timing turns and achieving proper rhythm to when you apply weight and "unweight" as you call it, I think what you are describing there is the compression and decompression that comes when you execute turns. As you enter and hit the crux of the turn you gain more and more force as the video discusses (compressing), and when you exit the turn that force decreases allowing you to decompress and spring upwards a bit. You can use that up-down movement to more fluidly change the weight from foot to foot, almost like a reset after every turn.

@@snarkmaiden4397 I'm curious as to why you completely ignore my main point, that being how do you get your inside ski to be the one ahead, the one out front? If your left ski has been out front in a left turn how do you get your right ski out front? If you are a skilled skier you have long since trained yourself on how to do it but why isn't it taught?

Im no expert, but I went from the toddler hill to doind some parallel carving on the big runs in about 2 hours. If you can hockey stop, you can ski.

I just switched over to skiing after about 20 years of snowboarding and threw a lot of your tutorials in to my memory bank for when I was at the hill yesterday. I was getting really comfortable with my wedge turns and was trying to get more parallel and build up speed but found my inside foot always wanted to stay at an angle as if I was doing a wedge turn. That piece of info at 4:15 might be the key for me as I distinctly remember that foot being way out to the side when it was hard for me to bring it parallel with the outer ski that was initiating the turn.

What about steering and weight shift and knee angle ( producing an edge on the downhill ski...that actually controls the arc / or tuirn ) ..

Flexion and extension are an integral part of each turn, and need to be explained and emphasized more in this video.

I remember when I finally mustered up the courage to paralell on steep slopes. It was the biggest eureka moment, because I was so scared, but it was so much easier. Now whenever I try snowploughing, I lose so much of my control, and I wondered how the hell I was able to survive on steeper slopes when I was younger because that shit is so difficult.

A good way to start to learn faster parallel skiing is to pick up the up hill ski on the turn

How about how to ski confidently when going down steep runs that are icy? I always tend to take wide turns and take my time and been skiing 10 years.

This is something that you just have to be comfortable with. Learn your limits within your ability, and slowly push yourself towards those limits, gaining that confidence in small increments until you can charge down icey piste with ease.

Really good guys, good camera work; your wunderfull voice's, the sound of boots clcking into skis, the sound of snow were enough music, the backing sound track was hellish. The human voice is way more, way more.

I was starting to feel my snow plough getting naturally smaller as I tried to parallel ski, but then found my tips crossing often which was the cause for falling over. Do you have any tips on keeping shallower plough whilst not crossing the tips?

I can do this on bunny hills, but as soon as the run is a little steeper or narrower, I resort to snowplow because I'm scared to go too fast.

The first time I watched this video 10 months ago (a couple of weeks before my first skiing experience), none of this made any sense. Now after spending 4 days (16 hours in total) on snow, I understand how fundamental everything said in the video is. I'm still struggling with all the "tricky" parts mentioned but at least I know very clearly what I need to learn.

On step 5 to roll your knee out on the inside ski push down on your baby toe. It will tilt the ski so a person can bring the rear of the ski in like spreading butter with a knife.
