Anyone else come back to this video before going out to ski?
S’wot I’m doing right now.
The best 8 minutes I've spent to improve my skiing. I've done the exercises in this video, and they have worked better than anything before. I can now carve!
I am a trainer in a completely different field and I have to credit Kurt for his briefing technique. A really well balanced tone, not condescending or patronising , an open style leaving room for questions or confidence building input. He follows an important rule in working to his trainees needs and starting from where the trainee is. Too many of these types of video are about the trainer. "Look how good I am this could be you!" In this one you actually believe it could! Now let's see if I can do any of this stuff.
These three issues have been holding me back for a decade. Thank you!
If I understood correctly, following wording may be simpler to understand:
Tip 1: Point your both hands towards the downhill instead of your moving direction (this helps to keep your upper body in correct orientation).
Tip 2: Always keep you upper body pointing upwards instead of leaning inside the corner. Leaning only your legs increases the grip.
Tip 3: Keep the tips of the skis next to each other during the turn (it's a common mistake is to push inside ski forward compared to outside ski).
its about learning how to counter after the turn
Im pretty sure Tip 3 is wrong. Its a common mistake to push the tips too far apart. The reason why your inside ski pushes forward is to help the hips get the correct position and knee position. If you other knee doesnt move out the way you get that huge angle on the ski. th-cam.com/video/09GRD0YRnYk/w-d-xo.html here is a slow mo of Lindsey Vonn. Your skis have to be aligned though. You have to try keep them parallel but as you see in the video when you pushing hard your skis do bounce around.
@@doobyitsred1784 yeah I'm skiing for almost 30 years now and disagree on no 3 too
luke wade Tried this other day for first day of 2019/2020 season and definitely noticed difference in a positive way. Not sure instruction directed at high speed tight slalom turns as viewed in Vonn clip but more so for the recreational skier allowing bit of patience for the ski to do as intended. May not work in all instances but Try it and see what you think.
Tips 3: my legs do not understand :P I cannot, what so ever, manage to keep my skiis\legs together when going in to a turn. If i try to keep my skiis together, i only loose balance :S
Tip 4: the inside arm should always be in front of you. Never leave it behind or drag it behind.
Tip 0: find the best snow possible. Well groomed. Then you’ll have 35% of carving done

Counter-rotated tuck turns (like tucking in a downhill) work really well to learn how to carve. It forces the skier to make a smooth transition into the carve and keeps from allowing the skier to use excessive up and down weighting. When I coached Junior Devo, I had my kids do tuck turns and it instantly made a difference with their ability to get a clean carve going. And by emphasizing the counter rotation and pointing the upper body away from the direction one is turning towards, it helped get them to understand where the balance point was and not over-rotate. It helps get the feet and skis doing the right thing and make smooth transitions in and out of the turn.
False. Keep your both arms front of you and keep them on the same level but yea you should not let your arms get behind of you
Thanks guys. Just started skiing again after a 35 year hiatus. I have all of the issues you mentioned. I'm heading back out tomorrow and I will pay attention to everything you showed in the video. Great video!
Thank you for your videos! I am going for my PSIA level 2 exam next week and have had nothing but useless jargon forced into my head, the way you describe things is REAL and applicable, you are a god send. THANK YOU
“Have a lunch.” That’s a new one. Known here in Canada as a “yard sale.” Your gear spread accross the area for other skiers to browse through. That’s me. But no more, I’ve been shown the light! Thanks guys.
I first heard "Yard Sale" in Wyoming, not sure where it originally came from. But, my understanding of a proper "Yard Sale" is when you crash so hard your equipment is everywhere, looking like...a yard sale. It was mentioned to me from a local who watched me wipeout big time at Jackson Hole.
You ain't trying hard enough if you don't have a yard sale once a year
Joaquin Cortada I have a yard sale almost every time I ski and I’ve been skiing my whole life 😂
Kevin D. Herlihy
Yup!
Joaquin Cortada no guts no glory?

Delightful to watch them carving so easily.
Great video very helpful for an intermediate skier like me who has taught himself and who probably has all the obstacles to skiing effortlessly that have been clearly pointed out and demonstrated in the video thanks will get practicing whenever I can.
I saw this video 2 months ago, after 1.5 years from my last ride, and forgot about it. Now, after 3 days of skiing, I recognize I'm doing all three mistakes. Plus, this is clarifying me why these are mistakes indeed. That's just awesome!
Such nice, calm and well-presented ski instructions. Oh, seems most people were too busy checking the ski gear to learn anything.. I did tho! Thank you.
Thanks, I'm going to Austria today, and this will help!
This is great, as someone learning by themselves these are some great tips to have.
VertSabre yes!
Watch and hang out with better skiers
Then head to a great resort and get a lesson.
Both work
Ski safely and keep improving
This was really helpful. Have been skiing for a long time. I can get down the mountain but it ain't pretty due to my lack of proper technique. Thanks for the tips. Will study this.
Wow, what a help! Big powder day yesterday at Red Lodge and I really concentrated on keeping the downhill ski forward. Best advice in years, thanks
Literally do all of these habits. Good pre snow vid very helpful!
Thank you - probably the most helpful video I've watched - clear demo, good exercises and simple explanations.
Great tips as always! I started skiing at 22 and hadn't taken any lessons for 3 years, I definitely had these exact problems!
VERY helpful! I've been doing mistake #1 for years, thanks for an exercise to remedy it
Excellent video with some great exercises. I would only suggest that you also emphasize the importance of FLEXING YOUR KNEES in your turns, which you always demonstrate but never mention. Thanks.
if you just straight line it you don't need to worry about how bad your carving is
me LOL
I do this, just don't go down the longest black diamond
Notice how hunched over he is carrying a walker
Just learn to stop and you'll be gucci
this is why you need a helmet and reference to the other post about helmets. you need to protect yourself for the person straight lining it who completely loses it takes out entire groups of people ... Hoho
Great video guys. I am just getting back into skiing after being out of it for 17 years. Can't wait to try some of these exercises this winter.
Looking forward to skiing again, hopefully on my own set.
Really liked the general points you made in this video. Takes into account that most people are not skiing on skis that are specifically purposed for carving, like the race skis or all mountain carvers that I use, but that there is still potential to experience this on the wider recreational equipment that's out there. I think that the only real restriction this can be the width of the slope you are on as to how successful the skier will be, particularly in the exercises which are great by the way. For example the narrow runs mostly found in the central and eastern ski areas of Canada aren't conducive to completing the turn in this fashion and unfortunately promote a much straighter line and far less balance against the outside ski and eliminate the corresponding bending (loading) of the ski that we see in this video. The skier than takes this technique into the mountains with the obvious results (less speed control by using the turn shape and more reliance on friction from skidding skis) which in turn is the upright stance or body position you see in most skiers. Still believe that learning to carve on this more limited terrain is best done on skis designed for the purpose but liked this video and its simple and easy to follow corrections. Thanks.
Exact what I am facing now, realy need to solve it. Thank you so much.
Thank you! Heading up to Maine for the week so thanks for the tips!
Thank you for this tutorials. If you could make some more videos about carving, I would appreciate a lot.
Very good video. Going back to the basics and improving core skills! Very helpful, I like the drills you instructed.
actually useful; Awesome. beautiful video too
This is by far the best explanation of the progression from advanced to expert. From just parallel to actually carving. Sweet!
Now I'm sitting here in summer trying to figure out how I ski and if I make these mistakes XD
Same (even though this is an old comment )
This was a good one. I really liked it! it took me a while to get the feel of how much pressure to put on this skis through the transitions of the turn. also the harder you put the pressure on can lead to some pretty hard falls for me at least when exiting the turn. You really have to get forward when you changing the skis/turn. and keep strong, carving is really physically demanding.
Thanks! We loved your attitudes, fun and non-judgmental!!
Great video I have been skiing for a long time but those tips will definitely come in handy.
我也是自学的滑雪⛷️
看了您的视频对我的帮助非常大，今年的雪季、就去按照您方法练习一下！谢谢
Great video, simple explanation, can't wait to try it out this season.
One of the most useful videos I've seen. I've wondered about leaning into the turn or not and now I know!
Surprisingly good for a guy on twin tips. Better than most of the folks on top "race-like" equipment out there. Kudos to Stomp It for choosing a quite competent instructor for giving pieces of advice on this topic.
I have only skied once but have watched several of Professor X's tutorial videos because I am really hoping to get out there again!
Your videos are always the best. I watched them when I began skiing. You tell me everything I need to know and how to achieve it. Very greateful.
Really helpful that was, thank you for sharing these tips. I’ll put them into practice on Alpe hues this years ski trip. 👍
The video is appreciated for it's own merits and it does that we'll. I've had the pleasure of engaging several 3..4 yr olds on the skating rink this year I pushed each one on their bottoms with a good snow shovel around a small rink for a couple of laps. I then drop the shovel and encouraged each one to pick up the shovel and follow me. Each one succeeded in walking with confidence within a few minutes ...nothing else needed.
i love leading with the inside ski, you can make it tighter. but now i see what i was doing wrong. thanks !!
I'm going to learn how to ski after snowboarding for 10 years and this video really cleared up some false assumptions I had about weight transfer.
Yeaaah! New video, Nice. Thanks for uploading this ✌🏼️
Dragging poles is great exercise for stabilizing upper body. Try variations like reaching further with outside pole to encourage angulation or pushing inside pole forward to counter rotation, keep baskets a bit beside feet to promote centred stance! Great vid!
You have some of the best and most informative videos on skiing. Keep up the great work.
I was looking to fix a mistake and you got me right away with the fist one... thanks!
My coach taught us to keep our shoulders pointing downhill to keep us from turning with the turn. We also tried to keep out shoulders parallel with the ground, which prevented us from falling into the turn.
holy shit thank you so much for this video! I always thought I was a good self taught carver, but I knew I wasn't putting enough pressure on my outside ski on variable conditions and I had no idea why. I realize now I am guilty of tipping into my turn! Keep these videos up you guys are the best!
Very helpful thank you, specially the rotation of the upper body at the end of the turn with the right positions of the hands. Very useful tips guys
This is the fine tuning I plan to practice on the slopes in a few weeks!!
Exactly what I was already working on, but you guys nailed it and dropped mad science on it! Thanks!
AMAZING! really captured a perfect day!!!
Many thanks. Great instructional video. Will really help me this time round as only my second time skiing. Greatly appreciated 🙏🏻⛷
Awesome video! I have such a bad habit of rushing my turns/leading with my ski.
This is awesome. I'll have to try it next time I'm out.
Super helpful video ! Thanks!
Nice technical comments. This guy knows what he’s talking about! Coming from a ski teacher on dry land now :(
Great training vid guys. I do suffer from probably all of those on occasions. Will try and commit to memory and try the technics out in a few weeks time up in Avoriaz. Can't wait.
I love this video, very helpful. I watched it few times and after 2 seasons of skiing I understand much more this :) thanks
Thanks for sharing this ! Looks like I have problems because I'm leaning in , will try to fix that :)
Tip one helped me so much. It resulted in me not turning too much then having to turn back the other way in the next turn . My chest was facing down the mountain more creating separation and my skis and legs not working as hard
This is just such excellent instruction- thanks sooo much
Brilliant lesson. Really good. Thanks chaps from london
very helpful instructions, next very important is good position a ittle bit lean forward .Thx a lot
That was a good explanation, haven't for many years but am looking at the new year - 2019
Did u start carving again im just now starting 2021
@@nikolastefanovic420 also would love to know^
@@tylerhewitt1204 i learedn how to carv this year is was really fun and im cant wait for next year when i will get even better
ahh this croumbly-sound of the fresh snow is just lovely :)
super helpful thank you
"Ditch the swede!" Haha, fy fan. Very helpful tips, longing for the slopes to try'em out.
Awosome video, pretty useful, thank you guys!
Excellent video - good exercises with the poles and good explanations of what's happening
Tip 3: Dang I never thought that might have been the problem. I think i've had the same exact symptoms where I felt like my outside ski was going its own direction, probably down the slope, and couple of times that has caused me to have a yard sale. This was especially frustrating because I was trying my hardest to put my weight on the outside ski and point my body down the slope, but I didn't catch this. I think if I had focused on keeping the tips together, I would have found more success. Any potential ski trip is 5 months away so I can only dream.
Great stuff. Thanks for sharing.
first exercise changed my life thanks!
hola amigo! me encanta tu canal! soy de argentina, cordillera de los andes. Te agradezco por los tips que compartes, suman un monton a mi tecnica. saludos.
Thank you very mach ! ! !
Excelent presentation. I am doing all 3 mistakes...maybe rotating not any more...i totaly understand what you have explained, but I just can not tilt my ankles enough for skiis to grip the snow or I am probably just not patient and am forcing the turn. Well it looks easy, but for me it is rocket science.
Really helpful video...thank you sir😊
Really great tips!! Thanks!
Good explanation and advice we don’t get this information from ski instructors when we are on the mountain
Awesome video!
So helpful guys, thanks a bunch. I'm almost there.
brilliant stuff.
Great video. Thanks!
This was great! Trying ALL of this tomorrow!
This is very helpful. I can say I have all these mistakes 😭
Mișto! Peisajul seamănă, păstrând proporțiile, cu cel din niște videouri din aceeași categorie făcute în Alpi...
Thanks a lot for the lesson, guy!
This is so helpful
Best video tutoring on carving I have seen and shall be trying out the exercises tomorrow, first ski since last year!
Good luck today Karen!
really good tips and well explained - top job
This is so helpful! :D this is exactly what i need to exercise on :)
I have all of these issues so i can’t wait to try these this season
Excellent vid thanks!
transforming my ski style thanks guy's
Simply Excellent
