    She speaks my language. This is a top notch coach. If you get this, you got it.

    Your explanation of alignment and levelling your hips and shoulders is so clear coupled with those two drills is brilliant. I especially like the one with two hands on the outside knee and will start using that more for the guests I teach.

    Thank you for a lot of excellent, helpful coaching in just 5.5 minutes. Your intro really sets the stage for the balance and alignment drills.

    Wow you're such a great teacher, amazing instruction on body position over the skis. Took my first lesson today after many many years away from skiing. Your language and methods work for me, thanks Deb!

    Hello Deb, I just found this video, this is exactly what I need, I am having a lot of trouble getting the right position in my hips, which makes me ski with my inner foot way up front. (so I believe I am overturning) the way that you explain things (even for a non native english speaker) is very clear and also very different from how skiing technique has been explained to me in the past. Thank you so much for this, I will be trying out your exercise . With Kind Regards, Hilde.

    Another great demonstrative video Deb. Great stuff. Your videos of the young skiers are very helpful.

      Ah ok. I was thinking of how flexible the guys is. Turns out it’s a she. Lol.

    The pole analogy is something I never could see clearly. The legs angle but the upper body INCLUDING the hips stay straight

    0:23 it is possible that my knees are not flexible enough? Because i can not bend my knees to that angle :(

    Cant wait to practice those last 2 drills i think will make me finally have correct alignment ive been looking for thank you......where do u teach??

    I see a lot of v bad America skiing ideas on here (Raymond Bodley). Some people seem to be Harold (Feet together) Harb fundamentalists. He has some good stuff but equally so does Debs. From plough, to plough parallel, to parallel to carving, you make adjustments. I was impressed by their explanations of what goes on, but for different reasons

  • @antoinetran900

    I’ve received a lot of mixed input regarding upper body position. Should i be facing my body square down the slope in the direction of travel or should it follow the direction of the skis as they love across the slope?

    • @DebArmstrongSkiStrong
      @DebArmstrongSkiStrong  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not either or. Its the turn shape and situation that dictates this. Shorter turns more down the hill, longer, faster turns more in the direction of travel

    Surprised you don’t use the term “upper/lower” separation.

    Generating TOO much pressure on the outside ski will SLOW YOU DOwn.
    IF you need to slow down, use it but what if you are looking for speed?
    If you skied every gate this way you'd never be in the top 10.
    The MINIMUM pressure it takes to hold the right line wins every time.
    Pictures of specific racers in specific gates is not a picture of the whole
    race. So if you are describing a control or slow down move, to keep inline
    for the next turn, good info. But if you are describing "every turn" technique,
    not good. Different tools for different turns for different parts of the course.

    • @DebArmstrongSkiStrong
      @DebArmstrongSkiStrong  6 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      the video is about proper alignment and the importane of balancing with the outside ski. Not speaking to the degree of pressure between the two feet.

    • @2drsdan
      @2drsdan 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Wouldn't it then be easier to teach and emphasize parallel shins? Because if they are not
      parallel then the body will be tilted and skew the alignment. Like what happens when racers
      swing the hips and butt to the inside, trying to create more angle but instead the shins go A-frame
      and the weight is too far inside, then late for the transition and late for the gate late late late.
      If the shins are right the hips will be right and on up the body.

    • @DebArmstrongSkiStrong
      @DebArmstrongSkiStrong  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      parallel shins can be a great focus for sure but is not complete enough to maintain proper balance with the outside ski. A higher degree of edge angle may require more angles elsewhere in the body to maintain balance and pressure with the outside ski. parallel shin also does not account for the upperbody which can pose problems for alignment as well.

    • @2drsdan
      @2drsdan 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      It absolutely accounts for proper upper body position and is EXACTLY how you skied in
      the video. Extreme edge angle is a factor of speed and steepness and direction. A focus on
      downhill ski pressure is old tech and not dynamic it can also make you late for the transition
      move to the outside edge of the uphill ski to start the next turn.

    • @DebArmstrongSkiStrong
      @DebArmstrongSkiStrong  6 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      2drsdan you comtinue to translate my primary emphasis on pressure which is not the emphasis of this video. balance and aalignment is the emphasis. it sounds to me as it you are taking an either viewpoint which is problematic.
