How to Snow Ski : Proper Snow Skiing Stance

[MrFFASniper]

Wow he is a dumb ass haha i hate people that think just because they use pools they have more balance

[Mafatu123]

this guy has no idea how to ski.  If you are learning, then dont watch these, bad advice

[Mafatu123]

yea. never keep your tips apart. You lose speed and control. Keep your skis as close together as possible. Of course, when you are new at skiing, this will be hard.

i ski with my legs about sholder apart maybe a bit less b/c its like standing on two legs and someoen pushing you form your side u can try and catch yourself from falling but if u stand on one leg then you cant stop yourself if you slip from falling plus your body will still put the weight on you skiis if they r shoder length apart that how i see it there are thousands of ways to ski see whats best for you and work on that no harm in trying all ways until you find that works best for you

the things i watch when im high...

[MrRandomVideos012]

@MrKolerful lol i know right

[mopotofo]

You are wrong about keeping your feet apart. You keep your feet under you so that your weight is on them, bend your knees, and keep gentle pressure on the front of your boot.

I keep my skis together, find it much harder to turn when they are apart so much.Specially in powder. (Unless i m going realy slow or straight down). Should I practice sking skis apart ? :(

stand in the center, the middle of the ski is under the front of the foot. If you stand on this you're weight will be distributed along the ski and it will work the way it is designed to. The skis will turn more easily, be easier to edge and wil grip along the length of thier edges.

Learning how to ski from a youtube video, and shitty skiers/teachers at that.. Grab some skis, go to the mountain, maybe you'll actually get better.

[danadbutler]

Dude, you are completely inaccurate stating that feet should be far apart for a proper stance. Go check out the latest mogul competitions on youtube and see how far apart their feet are. Everyone knows mogul skiers are the king of the mountain and should be emulated for proper skiing.

[ninjeba]

Lol, tool

[danadbutler]

That's all you can say? Is tool your nick name? "Lol, ninjeba". I think you were saying "Lol, insert letterwriters name" Maybe you can try again and actually explain why you are saying to use a shoulder width stance. Are you teaching people how to do the giant Slalom? Please try to express yourself again without calling yourself names.

[MrChurbs]

No....no....no....no.

Mogul skiing requires a specific style....

[TrIcKsTeR6009]

wtf are you talking about, the switz skiers are the best, im american.. just stating

[apowers008]

is that an instructor suite ? I don't think so..

Please to the internet a favor and go away!

Good videos man but what about ankle flex? That's a fundamental thing in the ski stance - everything flows from that. Flex your ankle forward, bend the knees moderately; this stance makes sure you transfer the power to the ski using your skeletal frame instead of burning out your quads. Too many beginners lean back in their stance - this is because they don't flex their ankles forward.
