This is not a lesson, just a skier having fun. Less upper body rotation (keep shoulders facing the fall line) and more hip action will lead to better form.
Is he carving or skidding the turns. A lot of muscle power is required for the skid at the end of the turn. Is he muscling his way through or is he carving. Hard to tell. He appears to push the snow at the end. The amount of snow pushed out is a measure of carve versus push, or carve versus muscling your way through,

@509tyler this is not carving ,Dude.you rotate your shins towards the center,and slide because of that. In carving there is no rotation, only leaning of your knees.Overturn your shoulders too, and skid.
@509tyler I have to agree with the comments on this page, this is not carving, it's a pushed off, hard edge set turn, rotated and leaned, but if this is the intent of the skier, no one should argue, because the intent would be done right.
I used long straight sky till two years ago...Message for the appasionate of pure carving: don't forget flection and extension of the body, not only of the legs...if you want to do short radius curves in a difficult slope there are no other ways....
hey, how do you actually do that? do you just shift your knees from side to side? or is there another technique? i'm going skiing for the 3rd or 4th time in a month, so i'd like to know!
I bet this guy is older, like me, and learned how to ski on straight skis, not the new boards. He rises up in between turns instead of foreward, and lifts his inside ski... old school. New technology means new movements. He would carve a cleaner turn by staying more two footed, not rebounding, and coming forward with each new turn. (just saying...)
if he was balanced over the tails of the skis, you would not see the tails skidding out, but the tips regularly losing contact with the snow. This guy is a good skier. i posted on another video recently about rec skiers obssesion with carving. carving is one aspect of skiing,not always what we want to do.for example what use would carving be on a steep icy chute???in short radius turns it is neccessary to use a blend of skidding/steering/carving to round off the turns correctly.
i am not a specialist, but i think that rebalancing (recentering) between the turns is not proper. the guy enters the new turn balanced over the tails of the skis, and in the middle of the turn is skidding on the tails, instead of carving.
Still pretty sleek mate. The finish to your turn is strong giving you maximum rebound to begin your next turn. I am working on this steerin of the skis underneath my bosy at the ed of the turn to project my centre of mass down the fall line. This is a good demo video to get the correct image in my head.
I agree with your assessment, when I work on "refined pressure control movements" I think of releasing the edges with a softening movement (quads relax) then applying increasing pressure to shape the top of the turn...Good work
Continuing from my previous comments ...This will also allow for more refined pressure control movements, as the duration of time that pressure is increased and decreased turing the turn will be lengthened, allowing for less ski chatter when snow conditions are firmer.
I'd like to see more progressive edging at the top of the turn by less vertical movements at edge change. Vertical movements require rotational movements to redirect the skis path. Moving your core in the intended direction of travel to release and re=engage the edges will allow the skis edges to shape the top of the turn rather than rotational movements of the femur within the hip socket.
these are not full carve turns sorry

definitely short carving turn, what are you guys talk about?

carving in the front part and skidding at the tail of the ski at the same time.
i think it is one of the good technique, though. complete carving is not always the best way to make turns.

Yeah, I'm certainly no expert but form watching other skiers I would say that there is a pivot/skid in there. Whatever, nice turns!

Way too much up and down, that's what makes the tails wash out at the end. I'd prefer smoother ski contact all the way through the turn.

that's are drifted turns. when carving turns you see on the snow only two lines and not flying snow how on this video.

Sorry, but these are not carved turns.. Starts like carved and then it spins it at the end.

Define carve. Define arc. Define Skidded. Then we can have a conversation.
