sorry dude, but you can't even get this right. They way you are getting petting to start off from a standstill is sure to get a beginner skier screwed. Have you never heard of the 'bullfighter turn'.
Also, you say weight on the balls of your feet. Not good. Not in any of your videos have you talked about being centered, balancing the weight evenly over the whole foot. If you use the arch of the foot as the center.
A correctly balanced skier will therefore use the whole ski, not just the tip.
The biggest problem with beginners is they put their weight on the heel. Tell them to put it on the ball because they're going to rock back as soon as they get into trouble anyway.
do you really think this is Mt hood Cause I have been there like 18 times I hope I can go to Mt hood in the summer time to get ski lessons!!! I live in Portland Oregon so its only an Hour away from my house
When I was little I would watch warren miller movies and look at ski mags to learn. I hit the slope and skied the whole run (beg) Just by reading and learning. Then putting these things I learned into practice. Your IQ really shows. Go to school and get a job. U have a mind of a chimp.
i didnt even watch this the first time because i was reading comments from a bunch of assholes that bitch about anything they can find. fuck your switzerland btw, i got your alps right here...
yo man watch out, I ain't swiss but I live here and btw American ski resorts only have more and biger snow parks (usually). Switzerland has one of the best runs...Even other Americans said that here :p
Why are you being so patronising? Not everyone knows everything about American geography. Doesn't make someone a complete ideot if they don't know there is snow in Oregon in the summer.
it is general knowledge. You should have learned this in school that Oregon is scatered with glaciers. Knowing your nations geology should be general knowledge. SO don't post dumb ass gaper shit on youtube if it is stupid
umm..go during a school day. There are like..90% less people. Same thing after a holiday. We went boarding the week after christmas and basically had the mountain to ourselves.
Where the hell are you skiing that there are exposed rocks? Oh and don't keep your skis shoulder width apart, keep them almost side by side, that way you can actually carve.
mt hood

The "mountain" had practically no snow on it, therefore the "exposed rocks".
Try skiing in the Alps, and then talk to me. :)
