  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ส.ค. 2024
  • In this how-to ski powder tutorial, we give some advice on how you can improve your powder skiing technique. We start the video by looking at the importance of a good turn shape. Then we talk about optimising the fore and aft, the blend of inclination and angulation. Lastly, we talk about the importance of steering with the feet and how to stabilise your pole plant. We got some links to useful websites about safety down below. For 2022 we hope to make rad Freeride camps in collaboration with excellent guides and instructors. stompittutoria...

    Mate your videos are the best! I moved to Japan last year and had never skiied before, so I watched your beginner tutorial and by the 2nd day I was flying down the mountain with my skis parallel!!! I recently got back from another little ski trip where I was starting to practice some carving from another one of your tutorials, I am absolutely hooked! This video will be great for tackling that sweet japow at the top of the mountain! Thank you so much, keep up the good work!

    The fore and aft movement is the best explanation I have heard on how to get the skis to come out of the snow at the end of a turn. Being a piste skier for years I learnt very quickly that I needed to steer with the feet when in powder, but I have struggled with getting a good up and down motion in powder, transferring the weight onto the heels towards the end of the turn makes so much sense. Can’t wait to have a chance try it out.

    • @StompItTutorials
      @StompItTutorials  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Yes but do not be backseated. If your new to powder it can be easier to just focus on the pumping drill I talk about in my how to ski powder 10 tips video. I aimed this video to intermediate powder skiers.

Technique is completely dependent on conditions: whether it's champagne powder, hardpack, crust, sierra cement, dust on crust, groomed corduroy, or ice out East, you play with gravity to flow down the hill. 💕

      @IRON_NIC 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I have the exact same setup as you, 184 version. I mounted them recommended and they are really playful, I like them but sometimes they feel a bit wobbly. Check out his video for different mounting options, he mounts them a bit rearwards. And BTW, they are AMAZING IN POWDER. Have fun Jacopo!

    • @src248
      @src248 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Blister said that that combination was pretty ideal, if you're looking for a very playful ride you'll probably love them at recommended. If you want a bit more of a directional ride I doubt mounting back 2 cm would ruin the ski (that's what I did on my Revolt 121s with basically the same mount point, works great for me)
