Thank you to the CSIA for the short radius technical comparison between several different nations. Clearly the most fluid turns (complete with early edging) are done by Australia, Japan, Korea and New Zealand. What separates them from the other nations is the combination of flexing and tipping to the new edges to release in transition as opposed to extending to release. Three other nations, namely Canada, Argentina and the USA, demonstrate a similar release but not as refined as the previously mentioned four nations. It is interesting to note that Luc Neron demonstrated for Canada, only one of two demo Canadian skiers (the other is JF) that can flex to release. It is a major step forward however that the CSIA sees the need to demonstrate flexing to release in an international demonstration. Hopefully, the CSIA will now update their curriculum with these new movements which result in a truly carved short radius turn which is much more fluid than that resulting from extension to release. Bravo CSIA! Written by Bill Armatage. On youtube see channel "Bill Armatage"

"What separates them from the other nations is the combination of flexing and tipping to the new edges to release in transition as opposed to extending to release." Information like this doesn't teach or explain how to ski to a reader. Read my explanation for comparison.
Great Britain's James Bennet really stood out for me. One of the few that didn't have his skis jammed together. Natural, athletic and looked like he could tame any terrain.

You won't tame Any terrain with your feet far apart and too much weight on your inside ski. That outside arch has to have your full balance with your inside ski as a occasional crutch when the outside ski breaks traction. The inside skis can too easily hook into the slope just like you could see in some of these "Professional" skiers.

Maruyama the best ski
Good job Luc Néron! Also, Great Britain and Ireland looked a lot stronger this year. Nice to see Maruyama-san on video again.
Why not do an interski bump line so we can see all the countries techniques work off of the groomed carpet. Skiing is more than just groomed runs. These instructors are the best of the best. It would be awesome to really see their true skiing skills.

The runs that got filmed for these videos were organised during the event, as the Technical Demo runs that were scheduled just didn’t really achieve this comparison as intended, so I think it would have been challenging to move around to other terrain in addition to everything else that’s going on when this was a bit of a last minute thing... add to that the conditions were such that I honestly can’t remember seeing a skiable bump run. Having said all that, I agree it would have been great to video on a bump run too, I’d be very interested to see how some nations adjusted to that terrain!
Here is Food For Thought. If you want to Learn something, this is your chance but you Must Think. And yes. I Do know what I am talking about. 1. Shaped skis are designed to turn by themselves when you balance on one and "Get" the ski on it's side. How you "Get" the ski on it's edge is the key to "Technically Correct Skiing." 2. To "Allow" your skis to make quick turns with your upper body Staying In The Fall Line, you can't create the necessary leg angle quick enough so you have to force the tails of your skis to move from side to side with an up and down motion combined with a forceful leg extension. Note the spray of snow coming off the tails. Some of these skiers do it more than others. 2:04 This is an extreme case. His weight is on his heals and he is jumping his ski tails from side to side. Watch them all in slow motion to see it better. This wide spaced foot placement is ridiculous. It doesn't look good and does nothing to make skiing better. In fact, watch how off balance it makes most of these "Demonstrators." Watch how many times their inside ski hooks into the turn. So, how do you modify your upper body position to create that fast leg angle change which will roll the skis over fast enough to make quick turns in the fall line without having to force them at all? I call it "Anticipation Turns." 0:40 Imagine a steel rod from top to bottom that runs through his chest. His upper body is going straight down the hill while his ski turn from side to side. Notice the tails being thrusted from side to side and spraying up a lot of snow. That is the only way he can Make the skis turn that fast. Now visualize this. When his skis start a turn to the right, imagine he thrusts his upper body, head, chest and pelvis, to the left. Instant and massive leg angle change will occur. Twice as fast as just the feet creating it. With the skis taking his feet to the right, his pelvis is taking his upper leg to the left. Not just the feet creating the leg angle change but the pelvis helping by moving in the opposite direction. With that quick change, all you have to do is pull your weight off your downhill foot as it passes under you. Your balance on that uphill arch, your upper body momentum down the hill, gravity and the ski design will do the rest. I don't have a video of me doing it but the best person to watch is Reilly McGlashan. His feet are glued together and most of the time, there is very little snow coming of the ski tails.
Pretty clear aus, japan, sk and to an extent canada know what they are doing. bending the knee to unweight the ski, instead of hoping turn to turn
Also liked Great Britain and Ireland .
Kiwis, Swiss and Canadians, seem to have a better flow of active movement and not just pure use of deflection. Pressure control and consistency of the turn shape were better too. I'm surprised at the lack of active use of the pole plant by some of the skiers.

My thought exactly on the pole plants. Goes to show the difference in countries and their style.

I'm a USSA coach on the East Coast: the skiers whose turns match a racing program would be USA. UK and Switzerland. If you ski like Paul or Korea or Japan in an icy slalom course you'll last two or three gates max. I'm getting really confused about how you are supposed to ski short turns at a high level. Anyway, shout out to Pamporovo - we got sent their to train under Communism!

one question - it seems to me that the Japanese demonstrator has a big difference with all the others, including the Korean fellow, in that his hips do not remain nearly as horizontal as the others, (ie the left hip gets way lower than the right hip when turning left, etc) and he used lateral flex (in the frontal plane) of the lower spine a lot more - this is perhaps more visible because of the difference in color between his pants and jackets - With do you all see?

Mr. Maruyama, a Japanese demonstrator, thinks that he does not have a sense of leveling his hips. He seems to have become such a form as a result of operating consciously of the speed and the movement distance to the right and left that matched the inclination. I think that the legs of our Asians are related to being shorter than other ethnic groups.

That's the difference of style in each country. Maruyama and Taeyeon Ko are the top talents representing Japan and Korea respectively. They use cross-under cross-over appropriately for the best turn width and performance. It is not the difference between leg length and clothes.

Show skiers who actually know how to use skis with side cut. Most of these skiers could have done that with boards on their boots.
