Shoulders especially...I got a lot of shoulder pain after getting up a few times

When you gain enough experience, you realize that simply applying weight to one foot isn't effective; it's about balancing and turning the ski. You can put 100% of your weight on one ski, but it won't change direction unless the ski is on its edge. This video is a clear explanation and a valuable tip, unrelated to European methods. Avoid getting stuck in old-school rigid methodologies.

For sure 2 meters of snow would be very nice! However we can still find good snow after so many weeks without fresh snow

Its not just pushing its also balancing on the left ski and to be more precise I balance in the inside of the ski, slightly on the edges.... and not on a flat ski. Just by doing this correctly you will start to drift to the right .. Now that I'm starting to drift I also help the ski by actually turning the ski/foot, this way I complete the turn. With the outside foot, if you inside is foot is doing the correct thing, your outside foot should not interfear to much. If it does, then make sure that the ski is flat and unweighted and keep you legs apart, that should do it. Off course there are other ways to correct particular issues, but that's why sometimes you'll need a lesson too! I hope this makes sense...

The inside ski during a snowplow turn (in this case, as you turn right, is your right ski), tries to stay light (you try to place most of your weight on the ski exterior of your turn, left ski here, and balance on it) and transition the ski from the interior edge to be flat (and eventually to the exterior edge as you improve) to facilitate the pivoting of this ski to the right, with the same radius and timing as the exterior ski.

😂You are totally right and hit a sore spot... We are a small ski school, we started the videos with a lot of good intentions, the C19 struck, and after that, we always have been so busy and many other circumstances haven't let us carry on filming more tutorials, but we are committed to try, if we get a bit more snow this season, film and edit more tutorials this winter... We are so sorry we haven't been able to carry on creating new tutorials for our audience... Coming soon promise 😉

Thank you so much for your kind words, We are so sorry we haven't been able to carry on creating new tutorials.

Thank you so much for your support, we hope to continue producing more tutorials this season. Willing to help many skiers to improve...

Thank you so much, soon more tutorials 😃

Glad you like them!

Teaching a snowplow turn is never a good way to teach people what skiing is and how to do it. It ruins all beginners and makes learning parallel turns much harder. The skis are made to turn when you balance on one and then the other. You can't balance on a ski that isn't under you. Will your skis turn in a snowplow? Yes if, you are doing everything right with the rest of your body. When your speed picks up too much, you will lose control and crash because a snowplow is only good for very slow stops like in a lift line.

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you liked it!

You're very welcome!

Thank you so much for your positive comment Ben!!

Thank you Lucas so much for your comment, that keep us wanting to do more.

Correct!

Thank you so so much for your nice comment, that give us strength to carry on with the videos.

We are going to carry on with all the videos for al the progression. Unfortunately we are a small team of coaches and finding time during the season isn't easy, but some are in production already. Not on time for your trip though, so sorry

Thank you so much for you support Mauricio!!

Thanks guys! We will get back on it very soon! Thanks for the compliments

Thank you so much for your nice comment Scott and Thelma, so glad you guys liked it.

Agree! Best lesson on turns! Thank you

Hey Nikola! Thanks for the compliment. We will continue to do more tutorials soon. We have been busy with our ski school in Verbier. But it's comentd like yours that makes us want to get back on it... Cheers

Thank you so much for your nice comment Nikola, make us very happy to know people find it useful.

Hi Conrad. In our experience it's best not to talk about the hip at such early stages and hope that with the right drills the hip will naturally fall in place! But good point

@@dropinsnow4608 would be interested to know some good drills. I'm currently having problems with my hip. Cant seem to get far enough forward, bending my legs just make me backseat and teacher keeps yelling at me to stop using edge.... so confused...

@@Ninjasticks as a drill, try to separate your feet wider and bring you hip forward as if you were going to the toilet...bring your pelvis forward like peeing.. Best way to explain! This will make you totally rest on your boots. Once you have this feeling, start to bend your knees, but never lose the contact/feeling of leaning completely on the boots. We have an other tutorial that might help a little. It's our first one I belive.

Thanks Megan! we will be posting more videos soon!

Hi Michael. We need to polish our videos and the audio is one of the main thigs we will fix, thanks for the comment

maybe I should start to make other videos!

@@dropinsnow4608 Hahhahaha Lmfao here. But yeah, more than a 'make me fantasize of other things' voice than a 'instruction youtube' voice (it's a compliment!) great vid!
