Ted Ligety Giant Slalom (GS) Perfect Turns - Skiing Follow Cam (2020) 

Whoa! That was fast! I'm still trying to catch up. Thank You Ted Ligety for all the great runs representing our country.

0:10 If you want to know what he is doing to allow his skis to make these turns and what every skier needs to think about, then put the speed on .25 and read what's next. 1. He is balanced on the inside of his left foot and is allowing the skis to make this right turn. 2. At this point he is looking at the next blue gate, not the one he is skiing around. He already looked at it during his previous turn. 3. 0:11 To set up for the next turn which he has already evaluated, he stops the travel of his upper body across the slope with his skis to position it down the fall line. Notice his present leg angle. 4. 0:12 With his upper body going down the hill and his skis still crossing the slope, his leg angle changes. When his lower leg is vertical and his skis are flat on the snow, he steps from his left to his right ski. 5. With his upper body going down the hill as his skis turn, his upper body will be over the tips of his skis, so they dig in and turn. 6. He leans his upper body straight down the fall line, the leg angle begins to change, he switches his weight to the uphill ski and the skis turn. Yes, it is all that simple. The only difference between a beginning parallel skier and what you saw here is the speed and degree of leg angle. Everything that you have heard over the years is just fancy words and byproducts of what I have said. You can't learn from the byproducts or what skiing Looks and Feels like.

An excellent example of how to generate more speed with each turn, he just keeps building it!

What a beast!
