Join one of our Ski Camps for adults this coming season. Focus on your Ski Technique for a week, improve your short and long turns, get a taste for bumps and get to try your first tricks in the park! stompitcamps.com/camps/
God he looks so awkward when you tried to get him to wide-stance @12:00. Good to see even the experienced skiiers struggle with things now and then also! Josh is such a super instructor.
Thanks highly enjoyable, what a beautiful mtn you get to call home. Impressed you guys hit the training hard 1st day out. Yet I've just learned a tip from Tom Golle to start on only 1 ski 1st day 1st several runs out. 2 guys with over 60 ski seasons said it's what they do until they can ski the blacks on 1 ski. They said it's why all the young racers ski so well. Not sure if I'll get to diamond runs, but I'm giving it a go 1st day out, hopefully sometime in November. Cheers you wonderful skiers thank you!
Is the short turn and edging a skill you use in powder? I have the same problem with this guy and rotating too quickly becoz of skiing mogul all my life. The annoying part is when the powder starts to get skied out and have bumps, it is so much harder to rotate your ski to hit the moguls like on the hard pack
What is the downside of a narrow stance for a carved turn? For me it's noticeably faster to change edges with a narrow stance ... or is it just that it encourages a pivot in this case?
How much do you think ski tuning can impact the issue of heavy edge set later in the turn? With very sharp skis i have a hard time modulating/building that pressure on short turns. I am wondering if less edge angle and more base bevel would be helpful or if the current less forgiving tuning is good feedback for technique deficiencies
Good question. I havent tried playing around with different edge angles on the same ski. I definitely belive you should have sharp edges so you got a consistent grip and trust.
I think the student is stiff on the legs in the turn, after the initiation (isometric move) on the longer turns. Because of this he's rushing the initiation. Teach him to make an excentric move after the initiation. Without this he won't trust the skies, he won't angulate; don't think it's because of the narrow stance. :) Just my 2ç
Another word of advice if your on a crowded green traverse and your skiing on a pretty shallow slope you don’t need to short turn because it makes it harder for everyone else to pass you
Strange to hear someone talking about two ways of skiing as "correct" and "not correct". Carving is not more correct than any other skiing technique. This could have been clearer mentioned (if I didn't miss it). Open carving turns can, and never will, be as short turns as skidding and twisting done properly. When the skiers head and ski tips follows a straight line, while rest of the body does the work, you do something most other skiers can't do on skis. It does demand a much higher level of control and technique than carving.
Its incredibly difficult to talk into the camera and not every now and then accidentally say something that comes across as odd like that. I don't think it was meant as correct vs incorrect.
@@StompItTutorials Yes. That is the reason why you make videos and I don't. Haha. Keep up the good work. Love the videos. (Also those trying to teach us a specific thing with saying other ways are wrong or bad.)
