Thank you.

Nice, i'm going to remember this for next time. I find this trait kicking in when the conditions are icy, you just get a little paranoid and start digging in, if you're like me and still a beginner, especially when it's a challenging and steep run. I tend to find some of the training videos make things look straight forward at times, it's when you try it yourself it's alot more tricky when you add the external variables lol. All about practice and muscle memory i guess.

Absolutely. Terrain choice is important when practicing 👍🏻 always feels better going faster on easier terrain, than slower on steeper terrain. 😀

Great video! I wish that I have watched this video before my first ski day! I had exact the same problem and it was so painful for the knee of inside leg.

Hot chocolate! Best tip EVER! Had a lesson today first in 9 years and I did this nearly the whole lesson lol as I was scared and was trying to slow my turns down but it just made them more unstable as they were locked in lol

Hey. Yes it’s a weird sensation, not always a fun one that locked in feeling 😀 Thank you. Great to hear the hot chocolate helped. And I hope you enjoyed your lesson. ⛷🤙🏻

I am locking my skis when I turn (one ski tip gets on the other) and I cant move/relax the inside ski. And because of that I am not making efficient turns. Any tricks for that?

I’ve made a little video. I will upload it later for you. But in short, twisting both skis at the same time will help with this. Whilst both are sliding 😀

Thanks

Balancing more on top of the ski versus against it. I'm going to shamelessly steal that one. So once you started skidding the skis your feet closed a little. So a smaller wedge means to less edge angle which promotes skidding. Well done.

This helped a lot. Thank you. Had my first few lessons today and it felt I was doing something wrong all day couldn’t stay fully controlled. I think I was leaning forward over my toes and having to lean a lot.

Your chest should point towards where you want to go , down the fall line. Newbies chase their ski tips rather than facing down the fall line. Free the heels, Telemark style and your mind will follow.

Where are you skiing? This slope looks so wide and gentle which is what I need!

Steve, interesting that you contrast balancing on vs balancing against a ski. My experience is instructors describing this in terms of “pressuring” the ski. I’ve not gone through all of your videos yet, but if you’ve not covered the subject, please add one on anticipation and explain how to judge if enough separation (counter action) is dialed in. I hope my request makes sense as I’ve not elaborated on it.

Thank you. Great request. I will make a video on this anticipation/separation that you talk about, and what it feels like for me, and how it works for people I have skied with.

I initially imagined you frantically typing in that question as your barreling down the mountain 😂 I'm a beginner and currently watching this from the lodge before I head out!

Just speaking as a total noob who got very bruised up on my first day, from 1:53 - 2:40, I can't even tell what it is he's doing, it just looks like he's being pulled by an invisible string

hahaha oh man this is so relatable. What he's doing is: 1) He's keeping both skis tipped slightly on their inside edge but not too much, so you don't get that "locking" effect. Both skis are actually trying to turn a little bit, because of their curved shape, but in opposite directions --- the right ski is trying to turn left and the left ski is trying to turn right --- so he's going straight down but brushing the snow with those edges to avoid picking up too much speed. 2) He's shifting his weight slightly to the *outside* ski of the turn --- shift weight to the right ski to turn left. This is because the ski with more weight grips the snow more than the unweighted ski, so you turn with the curved shape of the weighted ski as the unweighted ski's edge brushes lightly against the snow. 3) He's twisting his legs (in his hip sockets) slightly in the direction of the turn, pointing the tips of the skis the direction he wants to go. You can't really see the weight shift or the leg twist, so it looks like he's just turning by magic.

@KennethDuda hey thanks again for a very well structured and explained comment. I really appreciate it 👍🏻😀

God dammit I hate the stupid imagery that ski instructors use! "if I had a boot full of hot cocoa....." "squish the marsh mellow" "flashlights on your knees!" Not one fucking person could be able to imagine a boot full of liquid WHILE doing this drill. That being said, this was really informative on why you can't turn the ski when you have too much edge angle
