I have been watching several videos that cover this topic. Deb has done and outstanding job on this one. I like her including the concept of shortening the inside led and the lifting of the toes when tipping the feet to increase edge angles. Love the that Deb explains everything in simple terms without using technical terms that some viewers may not understand. The visuals were great along with PJ’s and cat in the background. Please keep the presentations going. Great stuff!
Another great video. My understanding is that the position Deb demonstrates with the coffee table (one leg up on it) is referred to as "vertical separation" (of the feet), which if then tipped over onto the snow *looks* like a "wide" stance but really isn't.
I’ve watched countless ski videos, so I can get better. After I’d seen a few of your videos, I knew immediately that you’re the teacher for me. Your communication skills are priceless because your explanations compliment your skiing videos: something I didn’t get from the other you tube instructors. This is before I’ve discovered that you’re an Olympic GS champion.
This was great. I learned about skiing with my feet and tipping from Harold Harb years ago, but this analysis is fantastic, clear, and concise. Thanks Deb. You have a new subscriber.
Deb, you're so cool & your Dad is a perfect student😚, that crust on the bread wow, I make my own kefir, sourdough & granola too, I just love your videos, so helpful to me, I skied this year in France after 45 yrs 🤭 I loved it (am 65yrs)
@@DebArmstrongSkiStrong I want to make it out to Steamboat this spring. I love your videos they have helped me tremendously, especially skiing a gnarly mountain like snowbird.
I have found your videos really helpful even though I'm a telemark skier. How would you adjust this particular advice specifically for telemark turns? Thanks!
Brilliant! How much weight should be on the downhill ski versus the uphill ski? I'm assuming it differs depending on the conditions? So on hard, icy snow you want all your weight on the downhill ski? On powder you want 60%? On packed powder 80%? In moguls 90%? If you are racing on ice 100%? I have never raced so I have no idea how these amazing athletes are so magical.
Deb hello, My name is Elliot Mann from London. I’ve discovered your channel and since then I really feel as if you’re right in the room training me. Your enthusiasm is first class, your mission is clear and infectious I simply love your tutelage style and selfless commitment. What’s the best way to get a good week with you working on everything and doing some good skiing together? Absolute joy watching your videos!!
tiping movement i understand but the dorsi plantar flex movement are not clear, some teacher say to push down big toe during the apex for feel the tip of the ski, others say push up big toe for close ankle and feel the heel pressure during turn
Hello Deb, I am now primarily interested in the inside ankle position as you develop really high edge angle. As you explain at min 1:20, the inside arch is splashing up the hill, this is how you start the edging process. Will this position of the ankle still be valid, as you progress into the turn and develop really high edge angle (short leg/long leg) and are about to touch the snow with the hip at the apex of the turn?
If I understand, the point you describe in the turn requires massive power. Small articulation of the ankle wouldn't come into play as much as alignment through the outside leg and shortening the inside leg. Just my initial impression and thought.
Awesome video to start out my morning. Deb, the way you breakdown the skiing process is simply amazing. I am so glad I found your channel. Thanks😀
I love the instructions and the coffee hair.
👍👍👍👍👍💪💪😉😉
I love the explanation between the toes and ankle flexion. This is important for turning as much as a solution to get out of the backseat 🎿
Skis and coffee and kitty, life is great. Love this series ! Thanks Deb!
One of her very best! Some really good stuff here.
thanks for the video...you are the jedi master of skiing
Ah, thanks Ed!!!

Deb with another great analysis and sequence of biomechanics! Thanks !
Been needing someone to tell what’s happening in the boot. Thank you 🙏🙏

Fantastic!!!!
I love this "family style" videos. By the way: the woman in the picture when talking about extreme angles is Daniela Ceccarelli.

Hi Deb , not mentioning the hip at this level to get a bit of angulation and more tipping and line of strength hip knee inside edge ? Nice video
I noticed Deb's cat is walking in the background.
Love watching your vids Deb. From Cottonwood Heights Utah. Snowbird Bum
Thank you. Love Snowbird!!!!!

Deb will you make it out to snowbird this year? Also I’d love to say hi when I come to steamboat!!

You are correct. It varies. On groomers the weight is primarily on the outside ski but the activity/movements of the inside leg is important.

I work out of Steamboat and Taos ski area. Take care

Brilliant, as usual. However, I prefer the word “engagement” rather than “tension”.
Fair enough
see Ron Kipps video on ankle flexion where he uses the term "tension" constantly。

Think this video would be better with a classroom skeleton showing the bone twists.
good point
