I love this channel bc your not hiding or glossing over the parts of your own technique that need work. We're along for the journey as we all work to become better skiers.
I am grateful you recognise that. Its still hard to put myself out there failing or skiing short of my dream turns or tricks as I got insecurities like anyone else.
I absolutely love seeing your progress. Thank you so much for showing your journey - it’s just as inspiring as your technical carving exercises. I hope to be at your level one day
I couldn't agree more I've been so inspired by Jens and friends. I find myself really pushing myself harder now, accepting those challenges. In a months time, they've helped me raise my game to keep up largely with some top Tahoe area mogul ballers. now I'm in the gym and biking hard, training up for next season. I need some trampoline time now. Enjoy the journey bro!
Amazing video! I did my first level a few years ago and had some time after where I wasn't able to make it to the slopes. I definitely didn't feel as confident when I finally went back. Got the hang of it again, but this vid would have saved me some time. Absolutely legendary channel, more content like this please! Love seeing the progress too.
Awesome stuff lots of good tips and as a pro photographer I can't help love the way these videos are shot as well. Very well done and keep the tips coming.
Thanks for the video, the sensation of Fore-Middle-Aft is something I've been hunting for this season and I think your explanation will help me find it. Cheers!
I just started skiing this year. I've been out to Stowe, twice for 3 days each and I already can see so many changes. Your chanell is the best - I've learnt so many drills. I have a long way to go. I do love the growth mindset you display for yourself and challenge us all to develop. Cheers!
Watching videos of your own skiing is a game changer. The perception of your skiing and how it actually looks is completely different and it gives you so much details that you need to work on. Great video as always! It would be welcome if you review the new S9 Revoshock and compare it with the older Servotec 🙂
You are so awesome, so inspiring, challenging yourself to become a certified ski instructor. In a much smaller way I feel similar, trying to learn grabs and spins after a couple decades away from the park, at my advanced age (52). The successes are incredibly gratifying, and the failures...well they motive to dust off the snow or slush and try again.
Skiing is getting better and better Jens. Can’t wait to see you in a years time
Thank you very much but I need to allocate regular time to practise . I cant wait to go ski with you some time in the future ;)
Thanks again, I enjoy your vids, keep up the good work.👍
really enjoyed this video! thanks!!
It was 2019, when I cut the 'cord', to that TV. Got into YT, and began studying economics and finance very seriously. I still do today. But I'm now finding that increased ability in learning, studying, focusing, is applicable to my skiing too. I just now realized this, although I've been acting on it since the spring. It's very exciting! Seriously, I'm gaining more knowledge from every viewing & reviewing.
Just want to echo another comment ... love your authenticity. To hear u talk about your learning journey is awesome. Becoming a truly accomplished skier takes A LOT of work, so understanding and enjoying the journey is a huge part of it. I would like to make just 2 technical comments. To increase your edge angle u might want to try shortening your inside leg a little sooner so u r able to increase your edge angle in a way that doesn't move your center of mass as far inside, so u will find that u can increase your tipping/toppling. This way u can get more edge angle while still keeping most of your weight on the outside ski. As u shorten your inside leg you will need to feel like you are "trying" to pull your inside foot back underneath you to maintain ankle flex. Try that ... see if it helps. Tom Gellie has some very good video on shortening the inside leg. Also, with for/aft balance try playing around with moving your feet (especially your outside foot) back to increase tip pressure and then forward to pressure the tail. VERY subtle movements and MUCH easier than trying to move your upper body forwards and backwards.
This video is perfect timing, in 3 days I'm going skiing for the first time
Good luck!
Lessons first
@@StompItTutorials I learned how to parallel ski 😁
@@alexoft9232that is amazing man im roll by to learn to do that too
Could you do a video on intermediate (air) tricks to learn?
Fantastic to see that Jens incorporated Tom Gellie's skiing inside of this video. Tom is one of the best piste skiing instructors out on TH-cam. Definitly watch his content if you want to progress - especially if you're looking to pass BASI instructor exams (like Jens).
Thanks for the shout out 🙏
Agree he is great. I also made a podcast with Tom on TH-cam and Podcast apps if you want to see more from the two of us.
@@JB91710 I'm not a ski instructor but in my day job if I had to debate everyone who thinks they know how to do what I'm paid to do better than me I wouldn't have time to do my job.
@@JB91710 lmao I really hope it's just because you're super old and don't know how to convey yourself on the internet but I have a pretty good guess of why everyone disregards and blocks you. I regret replying lol
@@JB91710 Aren't you the guy who replies to any explanation of basic principles by calling them meaningless & vague. Like a kid in algebra who mouths off that the concept of variables is pointless and all math teachers suck, because he doesn't possess the mind for even the simplest abstract ideas.
Great video, I'm looking forward to trying the funnel-hourglass & Swords drills, along with skiing on only 1 ski Tom Golle early season training style! Having got some good hoots from the lifts for my 1-ski skiing this season, I like the back & forth 1-ski carve drill. Damn IT makes me want to rip the ski mtn right NOW!
Hands down the best ski videos I can watch . Your charisma and personality is spot on.
Wow, thank you! 🥰 /Jens
You can’t ask that. They are all beautiful and choose one over the other makes no sense😊 Nice work and I’m glad the customers were happy
Hi from Canada. Happy Olympics everyone❤️‼️‼️
Hi!
Appreciate your videos! Where do you film? Your surroundings are breathtaking, and whoever is filming is top notch. Great work all around.
Videoanalysis is key to compare the inner view (how we see and feel ourselfs) with the outer view (by camera or/and ski instructor) - and we all have to be honest to ourselfs. Great video, great tips - but nothing can beat a camp with a good coach, to my opinion. It completes the toolbox.
Keep up your great work.
Agree video analysis is so effective to callibrate that inner feeling to what reality looks like. Also thank you very much.
Hello! New video, time to get more hyped for the "sportlov" in Sweden in two weeks ;)
Men du va härligt, njut av sportlovet! /Jens
As an intermediate skier, some of your videos are a bit beyond my reach (but still great to watch!) - this one is absolutely excellent and really gives skiers of all levels some great tips. Not only on what to do but how to think about what is wrong. Love your channel.
What brand Goggles are those? Very cool design.
Whats your opinion on true center mount on skis? For freestyle/park
Can you do a vid on powder skiing if You haven’t already. Going to Utah in a few weeks so I need to know the basics. My dad has been a ski instructor for 15 years but these vid help me in a different way.
I made multiple ones youtube search for stomp it tutorials how to ski powder.
excellent content. i will join a camp
See you then. Switzerland removed basically alll covid restrictions and travel is back to normal.

Hi there, do you have the mammut shell? What do you throw underneath it on a regular day and on a cold day? Thanks,
Jens, I took a series of webinars with Tom and Sam recently. They were stressing how to use inclination (“topping”) first, followed by angulation. Using inclination to achieve edge angles requires patience and contributes to how far inside Tom’s hips have to travel to balance against the outside ski. By contrast, it looks to me like you’re not allowing enough time to reach a higher edge angle by using inclination before you start angulating. //Marshall
I would agree. To topple first then angulate I think I said so in this video. As we where filming a live coaching video Josh our head instructor was training me infront of the camera and that was the thing he made me work on. You will can see that in the next video coming in 5-8 days :) Thanks you for the accurate feedback Marshal.
Thanks)
Thank you too!
Im not popping as high as I want to when going off ramps and what not is there any suggestions you could help me with?
can you make a video of how to frontflip??? love your tutorials you have helpt me a lot.
Already done that. Search for it :)
Awesome video! If I am recoding myself via GoPro, is there a camera angle or position that I can get the most information from?
Its not great for video analysis. But to get any information about your technique put it on the tip of your ski.
Bigger edge angle = More send. Got it!
Haha it kind of works the other way too. More send more edge ;)
You should do a video like this but for freestyle skiing. Also I’m learning a 360 and always have a hard time committing so I just do a 180. Any tips! And I’m trying to add a safety grab on my 180 but I always send the jump funky and miss the grab.
Great idea! Apply the same principles as this video and maybe you can figure it out :)
@@StompItTutorialsI’ll try my best, I’m skiing again this afternoon.
Please, I'd love a video on natural bumps/mogul skiing - how to hot dog / straight line them that is, not just go through them.
I think id like to make a collab on that with some one better than me talking about it.
What app are you using to track your progress/inputs?
👌
Is it possible to carve with freestyle ski’s? Because I can afford just one paur of ski’s
My tendency is go too much from weighting forward to backward through the turn, so I have always tried to keep it forward all the way through. Seems from what you say that my natural pattern was actually not so wrong. Still I am surprised to hear that I should end my turn with my weight back!
I think the reason you want to exit the turn a tiny bit back (not backseat obviously, but be able to feel the tails of your skis) is so your legs can spring forward and really push the shin into the front of your boot on the next turn. The most important place to be forward in your boots is at the start of your turn. It's only natural that you will rock back a tiny bit, but as long as your center of mass is correct it's not a big deal. It's literally impossible to be "forward" 100% of the time.
Which atomic ski you recommend for park? Can bent chetler use for park as well? Thank you 💕
I currenlty ski the Bent Chetler 100 and its great but I might change to the Bent 90 we will see how I like it.
@@StompItTutorials oh I thought its mainly for powder ski? How about the punx 5/7? Because I really enjoy atomic ski very much. Thank you!
I was wondering, you mentioned going for your level 4 alpine exam certification. In the US we ski instruct through PSIA and the highest is level 3. Level 4 would be considered an examiner. Is your instructing program similar?
No examiner comes after level 4 with BASI. With level 4 BASI you get the first ISIA CARD. I currently have level 3 which is ISIA Stamp.
What poles do you use
what app is used to score your skiing?
Had my wife video me a few weeks ago. It wasn't pretty, but I'm now getting lower ane getting my upper body facing more downhill.
Tell me about your jacket. Would you recommend it?
I'm sitting here trying to find the jacket in that orange color and the closest match I've found is their "Taiss HS Hooded Jacket". Edit: just saw above it's the "la liste pro"
Hi, would zou be so kind and tell me what kind of amazingly gorgeous yellow ski jacket you are wearing in almost every video? thanx :)
Its the Mammut, La Liste Pro Jacket :)
Thanks for the video. If I may, look at your knees. It seems you have an "A-Fram"-ing. The distance between your knees and skis should remain equal at all times. Also the another advance feeling is when your body gets ejected into next turn. "Pole planting" is getting new extremely important meaning in transition side-to-side and back-to-front
lol
Good eye, I do some times. I made a whole video about it 2 weeks ago.
How much does the type of ski matter for these type of turns?
@@oldskier3019 OK, let me ask it in another way, does the input of the skier need to change, potentially drastically, based on the type of ski they're skiing on?
@@TheFreddieFoo yes, SL is easier than a GS, at least when you still learning. GS will need more input.
I want park skis that are rocker only, not rocker/camber/rocker….. can anyone tell me any brands that are JUST rocker
Dang I’ve never been this early before
Hello my friend, I'm Roney Mahoney from Brasil and I going to Austria and I want learn ski, I will stay in Gaschrn Austria March 24 into 28 this year.
I have a dream about ski, I like very much, but I never Ski before, is it possible?
I have a booking in Posthotel Rossle this days.
Can you help me?
Im not in austria, I am based in Laax, Switzerland.
@@StompItTutorials Good morning Stomp, is it possible learn ski with you, if I go in Laax?
Which are your googles?
Atomic Revent.
When did you pass L3 exams?
You may find it easier to think of pushing your feet forwards, instead of bringing your body backwards.
If you say your skiing is bad, there is no hope for me. I quit. 😂
Well yea its not bad but I hold my self to a higher standard then what I ski at now.
@@StompItTutorials you sure do.
why on kickstarter page of CARV everybody asks "return my money"? maybe you are promoting scam?
I think they where delayed years ago when they did a Kickstarter campaign. Now days it really works we even put it in the boots of all ski technique camp guests to track their progress. Check the reviews on the up to date page: bit.ly/CARV-DIGITAL-SKI-COACH
*Jens skis better than 90% of skiers* Look how terrible I am!
Haha I didnt say its terrible (According to Carv data Im in the top 1%) I just know how long way I got left to go to be skiing like the 0.001%. Dont worry about your own skiing too much its really fun to be in the top 50% gains come much faster.
