Really enjoyed this video. I'm an old school mogul skier )from the Airborn Eddie Ferguson and Wayne Wong days) trying to relearn the steering technique. I love the comparison to "skating" or "roller blading" you described. Also the exercises you demonstrated are really helpful. In summary, after watching this video, I know what I need to do to be a master carver. I still love to ski bumps but it's time to keep up with the times. Thanks again.

@@ttmallard Carving on steep slopes is not something I think should be undertaken lightly. I think down-unweighting should be introduced to skiers as a better alternative to jump turning on steeps, but there's a world of difference, on steeps, between a down-unweighted pivot turn (relatively easy and non-threatening) and a down-unweighted edge change between pure carved turns (subtle, tricky and scary, particular in chutes). I think though that this can be prepared for on moderate terrain, where in any case, up-unweighting should (I feel) be discouraged for skiers learning to link carved turns. Skiers who have not discovered down-unweighting can be introduced to the notion of relaxing the thigh muscles as the skis pass underneath on their way to the other side. An imaginary bump might help those having difficulty: they should focus on not pressing their skis onto this bump. This is a minimalist version of down-unweighting, and on groomed slopes, that's all that's needed. If they are also trained to keep their centre of mass travelling uniformly downslope during the whole turn, the edge change will happen automatically as they reintroduce muscle tone, lengthen their skeleton and push their skis away, "out of earshot", (ie behind as well as to the side). Those who have done speed skating get this move down really quickly. Just my 2c

@@Gottenhimfella All ok, my post reacted to the overly unweighted posture that couldn't be carving. So, will say in chutes moving the torso CG to where it's the center of carving next turn is down from a compression, skis are uphill of hips, the ankle roll comes with the knee release & skis stay carving through a turn. To me in steep it's why to do it when they cross the fall line, you let the compression roll your knees to not come off the hill, this continues momentum, it doesn't brake as much, in words ...

I’m going on that ‘Think it, Feel it, Do it’ motto, so wish me luck as I’ll be keeping in tune to Carv to absorb what I can! 🤙🏽

A late comment, I‘m afraid 😉 A great result of these exercises also is: the skier realizes that it is much more easy to start the turn from bottom upwards AND not by moving the hip inside AND create angulation with an upright and stable upper body. No one would start a jump forward or to the side with the hips of even knees. The move starts with the ankles.

I was able to skate like a hockey player immediately and was doing hockey stops right off the bat. All without falling a single time. One of the best ways to learn to carve on skis though is to do exaggerated, counter-rotated tuck turns. Basically you exaggerate pointing the tucked poles away from the direction of the turn. It forces people to allow the skis to roll into the carve without excess up and down movement and teaches people to keep both skis on the snow.

The ski tells you how he want to be driven ;-) ... every ski is slightly different ... some love more pressure on the tip, when you enter a turn, some love more energy on the back when you finish a turn and some loves it somewhere in between :-D ... so don't think too much and start to feel your ski.

But you have two skis! The hardest thing in skiing is the contortions required to be on the inside edge of the outside ski in the new turn. It's like no other sport. Without instruction you're just going to use your ass and thighs to swing the tails of your skis to make a turn. Moving out of that is hard! The trick is to know which one or two things to think about *for you*.

Medium turn sequence :Tilt the inside leg first , ( feel the stretch at the llium and femer joint ).seconded, Feel for pressure on the outside foot (in the arch between the big toe and the heel ) (wait )and the body will configure to the balance needed to perform the desired turn shape,repeat till reach the chair .Try it on easy, then intermediate, then everywhere,

Thanks for this attractive segment. I find carving uses a lot of energy as I've all my weight on the downhill leg; looking around the piste I wonder if more advanced skiers are managing to even up the weight between both legs even as they are carving fast and tight. What do you think, is this possible?

Adrian, The secret is inside leg shortening. Modern FIS races are pulling 4-5 Gs in GS turns. You think even they can do that with their DH leg bent much? NO. Their DH legs are barely bent. It is like the last 3-4" of a squat where the legs are nearly straight and very strong. To do this, you shorten the inside leg by driving your inside knee UP. This then tilts your whole body over, and gives higher edge angles, higher loads, and a stronger position to handle the high loads, all at once. Watch Deb Armstrong's vids about this.... If you are having a hard time handling the loads, it is because your body is not in a strong position. You probably have too much bend in your lower leg.

I am a good skier but 70 years old. I have been working on trying to get more edge angle for years, but don't think my body is strong and/or flexible enough to do so. Do you find this to be the case with older skiers? I do, however, notice I ski better when I just use the one leg drill-but still not a great deal of edge angle.

Brilliant! How far apart do you think your skis should be?

@KennethDuda

Жыл бұрын

I have this problem too. I think the answer is two things: 1. patience. Be patient to start the new turn. Focus on getting your weight to the new outside ski (the uphill ski), and then letting your body tip downhill (which is pretty scary). Then angulate your torso back up so you don't fall over. As you ride the new outside ski, it will turn on its own, carving a pure arc. I would do this on a wide, gentle slope (easy blue) without a lot of other skiers around (I sometimes end up traversing pretty far across the slope before I start to turn, and dudes shotgunning down the slope don't like that) 2. anticipation. To get this to work on steeper slopes, you have to really commit to the tip quickly. That means anticipating with the upper body, so as soon as you are ready to switch legs and start turning downhill, you have the edge angle to complete the turn quickly without twisting/skidding and without traversing dozens of meters and picking up too much speed. hope that helps.

How much weight should be on the outside ski and how much weight should be on the inside ski when carving a turn? Thanks!

Hi, what kind of skis do you use for those bigger carve turns? The normal skis you can hire near the piste are there with a different level of stiffness and with a max radius of 15 meters. When I try to lower my edges with a speed around 50 kmh the skis make really short turnes. Now I am looking around to buy my own skis. I would like to make bigger turnes with very low angles with my speed up to 70 or 80 kmh. Because when I really try to press the skis in the turns, it feels like i have to jump to the other side and make really short turns.

Perfect and appropriate instructions, clear examples, best skills. But, let suggest, if you'd have kept off your mirror mask, you' d increase your emphaty with learners. Could be significant. Up to you. Cheers

Thanks for the feedback Alberto about the tips and examples! This day was particularly sunny making it difficult to film face to camera with the glare of the sun. We will keep this in mind though for future clips. Have a great winter.

Hello, I am preparing the edges of my skis myself. Usually - from the old days - I would make them a 1°/87° angle. Does that fit as well for carving skis? How does angle of edge preparation affect carving style?

Hey there, The edge angle of your skis is a personal preference with most skiers opting to tune their edges at 1/87 or 88 degrees. The difference between the two will be most noticeable when skiing on ice and is linked too how early your edge will engage! Thanks, Carv team

@@CarvSki ... how early and how fierce, right? And how much pressure = speed the ski will take before it starts to slide to the side, right?

Question...i feel i am stuck and unsure how to advance. While carving the large majority of my pressure has always been outside ski but mostly inner ball of foot and strong heel for digging in which sometimes kicks out the tails. Ive learned to control this very well. My fear is and has always been the pressure and contact of the inside ski...primarily the outside edge of inside ski. This fear makes me not only have a wider stance than i should but i also feel as if i should be doing more with my inside ski as far as pressure, control, etc. Any tips on how to correct or advance from here? I love skiing and want so much to fire down as fast as i can but i feel as though my form breaks down the harder I try. Feet too wide, angle too straight up, and forcing turns almost as if im doing a "controlled hockey stop" to turn. Thank you in advance and for the great videos! 👍

In order to gain confidence on using both of your skis to carve the turn you will have to experiment with the turn; using a stem christie approach, so unweighting the skis and transitioning on the outside ski into the next turn will have you gaining muscle memory on how to bring the inside ski into the turn. So, the drill I am expressing will help you to be conscious of both skis and applying pressure into the turn and carving both skis. Slow things down and go from the traverse position to the stem christie; and this will be like slow motion, so be sure body position is centered over the skis and arms are forward and relaxed. Doing this drill on a green or blue slope that is properly groomed will accelerate your learning. Additionally, skiing with a skier with good form and following or shadowing the turns can be helpful for the visualization process. zoom zoom....

@@teddyzamba1396 thank for the detailed explanation! I was attempting to slow things down today while practicing some but conditions were not favorable for this unfortunately. Unusually warm in southwestern Pennsylvania here in the states at Seven Springs Resort. Looking forward to better days ahead! Shadowing is difficult because the only friends I can get to go with me are all snowboarders. I will find one if I can. Thanks again! Zoom zoom

I like the skating drill, it also forces you to stick to the fall line.

Wich radius on the skii is the best to do curving?

FYI. skating is just opposite to rollerskating - edges work differently. On skis it's like skating.

@@markopolic9964 @AndRand I guess you have to show me a video of how inline skating should be different than ice skating. I incidentally stopped occasionally sideways like in ice hockey at the first days inline training after a long winter which is to the high friction of the wheels not a good idea... Maybe we are just talking about different stuff, but I just don't know why it should be any different... You have to keep balance on basically the same device... Just four circles in a row instead of one metal edge

Hi there, Tip 2 of the following video has a great lesson about how to use your inside leg! kzread.info/dash/bejne/hX9qtaV6hKm8nMo.html Thanks for watching, we hope this helps 👌

Looking at different tutorials my impression is that in carving much more weight distribution is to the back, not central or front but back of the skis, looks like skiers almost sit on the heels, so the movement is like we are sitting, otherwise to achieve high edge angle is not possible, is my feeling, observation correct?

Класс!!!

Many beginners have a misconception about quiet upper body movement. While there should never be any gross upper body movements, there needs to be a rotation of the hips and upper body to create a counter acting position, and also flex from the hips side to side to stay in a counter balanced position.
