question: when turning is it ideal to have only the edge of the ski on the snow or to try and make some of the flat bottom on it? thanks

[elatemedia]

@tobyfep it really depends on the sort of tern you are doing,ultimately the skis go from one set of edges flat and then towards another set of edges,most of the time in recreational skiing there is always some of the base of the ski in contact with the snow.

Hi Darren,

Thanks a lot for these videos I regret I didn't discover before, especially when I skied for my first time a month ago !!!!

My question is very simple : when you want to star your turn, you transfert your weight from your downhill ski (ski amont) to your uphill ski (ski aval) but do you also turn your shoulders downhill or this does naturally as soon as you transfert your weight ?

Thanks a lot again.

@fleglinel Better late than never,As you start the turn begin to transfer the wait from the downhill ski on to your uphill ski let the start of the tern happen by itself, resist the temptation to turn the upper body keep this calm and more neutral. Very pleased you enjoy the videos thanks.by the way aval means down hill and amont means up hill,thanks again

[stanrose2]

great tips...im already there in my head

[elatemedia]

@stanrose2 That's the first step,I hope they work when you get onto the snow have a great winter.

Thanks for your quick answer.

I notices my mistake about amont and aval as soon as I posted my message !!!

When I will ski again, I'll practice everything you advice in yours videos.

If I choose serre Chevalier to ski, I think I'll take few lessons with you rather than the ESF.
