And in 2 days I'm going off the black diamond slopes without falling on every turn and racing with my friend.

I just came back from my first skiing lesson from Simmering in Austria. This video is good but there's more to skiing than what u see here. Like learning how to stop by leaning forward. I advice beginners to book a private one to one lesson. It helps alot so go fly now and Skii, the experience something else.
@GPunktmod Haha din negertönt, är du sur bara för att du inte kan åka skidor? Istället sitter du på youtube och runkar till tjejer som har förstorat brösten eftersom du aldrig kommer få se ett par pattar om du inte våldtar någon.
I have skied since I was five and I learned balance and how to make curves by myself and after that I went to a skiing school ..................I was just trying to make a point that don´t watch movies to do something ....just go and learn by yourself irl :P
If you're a beginner, PLEASE take skiing lessons. A pro can make it fun and safe. ALSO, if renting equipment, make sure the rental shop sets the bindings for easy release (you should be able to just twist your boot out of the bindings). My GF has a pin in her ankle because her bindings did not release and she got an open fracture on her first day...
Thanks for t-a-l-k-i-n-g s-l-o-w-l-y and telling me the skis don't bend. This is not a ski lesson, it's a slow death. Get on the slopes and take at least one lesson first for the best time. Give us this day our daily shred!!!
if you want to ski well, do NOT watch this, it wont help, you have to have a real feel for the skis. not by watching some shity middle aged woman who my gran could beat down.
i just skiied for the first time in my life yesterday! I feel like a bus hit me today im so sore!!! i almost gave up but eventually i kinda got the hang out of it...my bf ended up taking me to a bigger slope and i just cried on the top bc i was so terrified haha atleast i got the begginers slope down! haha its fun!!
awesome. Just beginning to learn how to ski. This helps a lot, technical understanding in one thing. But doing it is completely another. So go get to your nearest ski centre and practice! Its super awesome! Forget about learning to snowboard, you'll fall and hit your bum more times than not. Do that for later, ski first haha!
OMG tomorrow its the great day!!!, i hope to have understood this lesson cuz i have never done ski or snowboard in my live and i'll be doing it tomorrow at Whistler Mountain. AAAAAAhhhhhh!!! God bless me, dont brake my legs!!!
for da g-g-g-g-g-g GAPERS ... you dont learn how to ski by watching videos and the people in this video shouldnt be teaching this because there doing shit wrong to...
Jesus I learned to ski when I was about 3. Now it feels skiing just came naturally. You don't learn by watching... You will learn by doing. So get your thumb out of your ass and ski!
@henrytheawsome Not true! This tutorial helped me a lot. Thanks to it I have learnt how to parallel ski and make turns where I want;) Practise is necessary of course but theory is also needed.
@BIGGSHAUN oh and big shaun................Douchebags r trying to be like pro´s in everything and I just tried to help people so they don´t make any newbie mistakes so they don´t get hurt ;)
@henrytheawsome you'r right, i first was skiing when i was 2.5years old. you don't learn it by watching videos but you will only learn it if you'r doing it.
@henrytheawsome I will go in skiing holiday in 1 week so i cant start skiing now :P . by the way i agree with you , no video has helped me learn to ski , i just learned it itself. I have started to ski when i was like 3 or 4 years old and i just fucking learned to ski , no video can help you if you have just started skiing or you are trying to learn carving turns or whatever so get the fuck out of here and start skiing everybody
@henrytheawsome I only started trying to ski last year and don't get to often so using this to get ideas on how to improve my skiing seems like a logical idea since I don't even know how to carve or go a day without being lucky I haven't broken a leg
I think this is excellent - it gives you a lovely idea of what a smooth skier looks like and keeping this vision in mind really helps you improve (or keep you on track).
in this weekend i was skiing for the first time by the end of the day i managed to learn steering, maintaining speed and stopping. my ski teachers who happened to be my close friend. I started off using information from this video they told me that this kind of manouvers are for intermediate skiers and when they showed me how to do it by transferring my weight from my legs alternatively it was much more easier. i don't want to be a smart ass but this is how i learned and its my own experience.
@SnowSkool yeah went skiing again, did muuuch better this time. I believe I was trying to stop on too steep of an incline. Had it in my head that I should be able to stop on any terrain. I am just learning, so maybe I will be able to eventually, but for now I am going to try just maintaining control and a safe speed on the steeper stuff.
Can anybody give me a tip or two on hockey stopping? I try and try but one of two things happens: (a) I just turn, slowing down a bit, but not coming to a complete stop or (b) I catch an edge and eat it. Do I need to lean into the hill more maybe? or is it an issue with the width of my stance?
thus needing to lift up your inner ski.. when you really wanna carve a turn.. put ur inner stick in the snow halve a meter in front of you.. come up with your body.. shift your weight.. put your inner ski a bit forward and edge the ski's.. and put pressure on the ski's while leaning forward more than you're used to do and bend your knees a bit.. I hope it helped :)
I'm 16 now and skiing for 12 years.. I think I do know what ur problem might be.. I don't know for how long you've been skiing.. But there simply is a little lack on technique and the feeling for dynamic.. what you probably are trying to do is to turn by actually turning your bodies and not leaning.. you need to use centrifugual force like just you're doing when bicycling.. if that's not the problem I think you're trying to turn too fast..
Well, he told the most important point of it... complete your turns! there arent any shortcuts.
But personally, i doubt that beginners already should carve. Its a better beginning to slide turns - means less speed gain and you dont need to control your turns that hard.
And Please stop the discussion about how your feets should stand x.x first its a question of your personal driving style, second it depends on your surrounding.
k im only 13 but im living in austria and im riding ski since 10 years and im winnig every race so i think i can say im realy good at riding ski...now to your problem: first you have to use your ski sticks and then you have to make bigger carves GL at practising....
@Burmeseboylcfc I still ski that way, And I started after Shaped skis, in my opinion it looks SO much better and with your feet together. It seperates the high intermediates from the experts (No offense, its just you can tell someones an expert immediatly if they can carve with a narrow stance)
@Articsledder i agree completley, ive always tried to keep my knees and ankles together, it looks much much better, and works alot better in bumps and powder, i see tons of people trying to ski powder with their feet shoulder width or more apart, however i dont really agree with your expert comment, because i am not an expert but i do carve with a narrow stance, maybe thats how you tell an intermediate from an advanced
@mmcg325 and all the others who have a lot to say about this video. Firstly, if you know so much, why are you watching beginner videos? Why aren't you out there impressing everyone with your wonderful technique... or making your own video? As a real beginner, I enjoy this series of videos, as they make sense to me, and the instructor looks like I would want to look like when skiing. Get a life, you wannabees.
To stop yourself from moving you can make your skis into a wedge like this: / \
If you are going down a large hill or mountain however, you have to turn to slow yourself down. Gravity wants you to go straight down the hill/mountain, but by turning you resist gravity and slow yourself down.
To turn you need to put more pressure on one foot. If you want to turn right put more weight on your left foot. If you want to turn left, put more weight on your right foot.
just been skiing again this spring, it was well good until the snow got slushy, you could just zoom down the slopes with any turning due to not much speed built up with slushy snow.
haha this vid is so funny lol. you guys gotta check out my sick freestyle skiing and snowboarding vid. Right from Cleveland Ohio. you guys will love it so much more than this.

I skied for the first time yesterday at Sunrise in AZ (yeah, you actually can ski in Arizona!) It was pretty cool, but after watching this, I'm not sure how much I was really "sking". I was going horizontally down the mountain as much as I could. I'd get to the left side, then turn right, to the right side then turn left, etc... Anything else felt out of control and pretty freaky. I definitely want to try it again and get better.
Hey, dahudge, if you're able to make turns both ways and remain under control the first time, that's pretty standard progress. I've seen lots of beginners that just point and go -- I call them bombers, because they look like divebombing runs from a WW2 movie more than skiers and you never know who and what they're going to take out on their way down the hill. Thank-you for actually learning to ski.
I also went skiing for the first time 3 weeks ago after watching these videos, and they helped a lot. I went skiing a few times and learnt it without instructor or anybody elses help. These videos definitely helped with faster progress and helped to avoid bad injuries by realizing mistakes quickly. Just ski at speed you find comfortable and in control. Better fall early than too late.
man i went skiing a week ago and haven't gone in like 2 years, and boy, did it suck. I am the worlds worst skiier lol hands down. I just can't get that zig-zag motion to stay in control. I took a lot of bad falls and was severley injured on one. i didn't take any lessons which was stupid and was real scared the whole time. i had no confidence which is why i was terrible probably.
This is an excellent series of films, with a lot of helpful tips and very suggestive examples. Go through all of the films and you are sure to learn a few great tricks that will improve your skiing technique.
i just learned this weekend on a trip with my freinds and for anyone who has not skied before you must try it there is no better feeling then skiing i love it and i plan on doing it for years to come so yea you got to give it a try
I'm a true beginner and I can tell you that skiing is nothing to be afraid of. It's like riding the bike for the first time, you will probably fall but it wont hurt.
Don't be afraid as fear will make you lose control over the skis and then you accelerate and fall. You should be as calm as you can be and try to learn from others and remember to practically always try to turn (never lean backward in panic!) as turning is the key to control over speed and direction.
its time to learn, but learning it is safe if you go on easy tracks. but after you starting to feel it 1-3 days, its one of the best things in life, trust me
Of course there is such thing as centrifugal force. Anything moving on a curve (INside the system) senses it as a force trying to straighten the movement. Outside the system, watching a body moving on a curved path, you can find a centripetal force, like friction that keeps the body on its track, preventing it from moving along an undisturbed straight path. So you as a skier will sense centrifugal force as you turn, the snow will sense friction between itself and your skis. Physics 101.
Actually, if your teacher knows anything, centrifugal force absolutely does not exist, which is why it is mainly a fictitious force. Anything moving in a curve wants to move straight due to the properties of inertia. Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will remain in motion (linear motion) provided that no forces act upon it. The object in the curve stays in the curve instead of going on a straight trajectory because of centripetal force. Inertia, my friend.
That is a quite ignorant statement, as the Third Law will tell you. You can define the centrifugal force as the reaction force corresponding the centripetal force. The beauty of moving in a non-inertial reference frame. Of course its not the same type, that's why it's called pseudo-force or inertial force. The sum of individual forces, or net force doesn't "exist" as well, still the acceleration will be defined by it.
Same thing with the Coriolis-force. Or is that non-existent too?
No, it's fictitious because it has no opposite force.
Centripetal force (a real force) acts perpendicular to the radius of the arc, while centrifugal acts in same direction of the radius. Because they are at 90° to each other, they aren't "equal but opposite" forces.
"Centripetal force acts perpendicular to the radius" - you should really reconsider that statement. The only thing perpendicular to the radius is the speed(vector). Centripetal force on the other hand, must point to the center, along the radius. Like gravity, the Sun pulls the Earth, doesnt it? (OK, if you simplify that to the circular case.)
You will go perpendicular to the radius, because your speed (e.g. the direction of your movement) points always perpendicular to the radius. The force that keeps you on the circle, points to the center. It is the string itself. Speed and force vectors dont have to align, like in circular motion or in the case of a pendulum. Consult a physics book, im off here, gone skiing.
The string keeps you in the circle, which is the force towards the center. But there is no opposite force acting away from the center, only a force perpendicular to the radius.
Woooooooow. We all f'n know this. "One, They are flexible! You can BEND your skis if you put pressure on them!!!"... OMFG Thanks for telling me... you made me 10X smarter.
The video was helpful considering I haven't ever skied before, The music was a bit confusing for the video though. I'm going skiing for my first time with my youth group in Winterplace West Virginia so I'm excited about that, wish me luck!
Half of the people in this video aren't even keeping their torso's facing down hill... they're just facing their heads downhill... It's kindof painful to watch
some good skiing, but your commentary is real confusing, espeically when you talk about 'turning the body' and leaning 'into the hill' is the opposite of what you should be doing. Your lateral movement should be towards your downhill ski, while your body still faces the direction your skiis are pointing. This helps keep the hips square on your skis providing a stronger stance, while helping maintain pressure on that downhill (outside) ski.
Very good video - a very good repetition at home how to slalom - I started thinking that I might try again . I have stopped when I think might easily brake my legs or something else cause to my age.Loved to see the Video, greetings Anne
My problem is I don't like speed, so can go very slowly across the slope. I can turn properly-ish but better one way than the other - weak knees? I found myself 'snow plough' ing the other week when I went ice skating - it worked!
Snowplow is actually a useless technique, once you get past the green slope you will never use it again. Many places have stopped teaching the technique because of the limited time that you will use it. If you think that you have weak knees I would suggest picking up a book called "Fit to Ski and Snowboard" and use the workouts as conditioning for next season. Just a thought man good luck.

k im only 13 but im living in austria and im riding ski since 10 years and im winnig every race so i think i can say im realy good at riding ski...now to your problem: first you have to use your ski sticks and then you have to make bigger carves GL at practising....

Old vid - check out how close together his feet are - no one skis like that now unless on moguls...or maybe deeper powder...still a good skier though
Burmeseboylcfc 1 year ago
@Burmeseboylcfc I still ski that way, And I started after Shaped skis, in my opinion it looks SO much better and with your feet together. It seperates the high intermediates from the experts (No offense, its just you can tell someones an expert immediatly if they can carve with a narrow stance)
Articsledder 1 year ago
@Articsledder i agree completley, ive always tried to keep my knees and ankles together, it looks much much better, and works alot better in bumps and powder, i see tons of people trying to ski powder with their feet shoulder width or more apart, however i dont really agree with your expert comment, because i am not an expert but i do carve with a narrow stance, maybe thats how you tell an intermediate from an advanced

@mmcg325 and all the others who have a lot to say about this video. Firstly, if you know so much, why are you watching beginner videos? Why aren't you out there impressing everyone with your wonderful technique... or making your own video? As a real beginner, I enjoy this series of videos, as they make sense to me, and the instructor looks like I would want to look like when skiing. Get a life, you wannabees.

To stop yourself from moving you can make your skis into a wedge like this: / \
If you are going down a large hill or mountain however, you have to turn to slow yourself down. Gravity wants you to go straight down the hill/mountain, but by turning you resist gravity and slow yourself down.
To turn you need to put more pressure on one foot. If you want to turn right put more weight on your left foot. If you want to turn left, put more weight on your right foot.
That's the idea behind it.

I skied for the first time yesterday at Sunrise in AZ (yeah, you actually can ski in Arizona!) It was pretty cool, but after watching this, I'm not sure how much I was really "sking". I was going horizontally down the mountain as much as I could. I'd get to the left side, then turn right, to the right side then turn left, etc... Anything else felt out of control and pretty freaky. I definitely want to try it again and get better.
dahudge27 1 year ago
Hey, dahudge, if you're able to make turns both ways and remain under control the first time, that's pretty standard progress. I've seen lots of beginners that just point and go -- I call them bombers, because they look like divebombing runs from a WW2 movie more than skiers and you never know who and what they're going to take out on their way down the hill. Thank-you for actually learning to ski.
TurkceBilmiyorum 1 year ago
I also went skiing for the first time 3 weeks ago after watching these videos, and they helped a lot. I went skiing a few times and learnt it without instructor or anybody elses help. These videos definitely helped with faster progress and helped to avoid bad injuries by realizing mistakes quickly. Just ski at speed you find comfortable and in control. Better fall early than too late.
jaroslavl1 1 year ago
man i went skiing a week ago and haven't gone in like 2 years, and boy, did it suck. I am the worlds worst skiier lol hands down. I just can't get that zig-zag motion to stay in control. I took a lot of bad falls and was severley injured on one. i didn't take any lessons which was stupid and was real scared the whole time. i had no confidence which is why i was terrible probably.

Fancy303 1 year ago
@Fancy303
I'm a true beginner and I can tell you that skiing is nothing to be afraid of. It's like riding the bike for the first time, you will probably fall but it wont hurt.
Don't be afraid as fear will make you lose control over the skis and then you accelerate and fall. You should be as calm as you can be and try to learn from others and remember to practically always try to turn (never lean backward in panic!) as turning is the key to control over speed and direction.
Have a great time!

There is no such thing as centrifugal force. 2:17-2:25, somewhere in there
Alup62893 2 years ago
Of course there is such thing as centrifugal force. Anything moving on a curve (INside the system) senses it as a force trying to straighten the movement. Outside the system, watching a body moving on a curved path, you can find a centripetal force, like friction that keeps the body on its track, preventing it from moving along an undisturbed straight path. So you as a skier will sense centrifugal force as you turn, the snow will sense friction between itself and your skis. Physics 101.
lacalaca85 2 years ago
@lacalaca85
Actually, if your teacher knows anything, centrifugal force absolutely does not exist, which is why it is mainly a fictitious force. Anything moving in a curve wants to move straight due to the properties of inertia. Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will remain in motion (linear motion) provided that no forces act upon it. The object in the curve stays in the curve instead of going on a straight trajectory because of centripetal force. Inertia, my friend.
zaeiou123 2 years ago 2
That is a quite ignorant statement, as the Third Law will tell you. You can define the centrifugal force as the reaction force corresponding the centripetal force. The beauty of moving in a non-inertial reference frame. Of course its not the same type, that's why it's called pseudo-force or inertial force. The sum of individual forces, or net force doesn't "exist" as well, still the acceleration will be defined by it.
Same thing with the Coriolis-force. Or is that non-existent too?
lacalaca85 2 years ago
No, it's fictitious because it has no opposite force.
Centripetal force (a real force) acts perpendicular to the radius of the arc, while centrifugal acts in same direction of the radius. Because they are at 90° to each other, they aren't "equal but opposite" forces.
saturnv3 2 years ago
"Centripetal force acts perpendicular to the radius" - you should really reconsider that statement. The only thing perpendicular to the radius is the speed(vector). Centripetal force on the other hand, must point to the center, along the radius. Like gravity, the Sun pulls the Earth, doesnt it? (OK, if you simplify that to the circular case.)
lacalaca85 2 years ago
Let's just imagine you're twirling a ball around a circle with a string.
When you cut the string, it will go:
a. Perpendicular to the radius
b. Straight outward, parallel to the radius
If you chose b, you are an idiot and argue against an infallible fact.
saturnv3 2 years ago
You will go perpendicular to the radius, because your speed (e.g. the direction of your movement) points always perpendicular to the radius. The force that keeps you on the circle, points to the center. It is the string itself. Speed and force vectors dont have to align, like in circular motion or in the case of a pendulum. Consult a physics book, im off here, gone skiing.
lacalaca85 2 years ago
The string keeps you in the circle, which is the force towards the center. But there is no opposite force acting away from the center, only a force perpendicular to the radius.

andriandjenarelovers 2 years ago
some good skiing, but your commentary is real confusing, espeically when you talk about 'turning the body' and leaning 'into the hill' is the opposite of what you should be doing. Your lateral movement should be towards your downhill ski, while your body still faces the direction your skiis are pointing. This helps keep the hips square on your skis providing a stronger stance, while helping maintain pressure on that downhill (outside) ski.

My problem is I don't like speed, so can go very slowly across the slope. I can turn properly-ish but better one way than the other - weak knees? I found myself 'snow plough' ing the other week when I went ice skating - it worked!
Romfordruffian 2 years ago 2
Snowplow is actually a useless technique, once you get past the green slope you will never use it again. Many places have stopped teaching the technique because of the limited time that you will use it. If you think that you have weak knees I would suggest picking up a book called "Fit to Ski and Snowboard" and use the workouts as conditioning for next season. Just a thought man good luck.
