  • @DarkestKnight111 Your welcome... Hope it works for you.

  • Thanks, I struggle with my short radius turns. I need better upper lower body isolation. This drill may help. I never knew to use the javelyn turn drill to address this. Thanks again!

  • @olof07 Thanks... The fatter the ski the slower it will be edge to edge + more difficult to grip on hard snow.. that being said short turns are certainly possible even on super fat skis. I am going with 88mm under foot for my all mountain/teaching/do everything kind of ski this year (a bit wider than normal). However, If you want the ultimate in quickness agility and grip... then narrower is better. A skinny ski is still fun in the powder... just requires a little more speed and precision.

  • zup... thanks for the tip and a great video. Quick question, if someone ever reads this.

    I am this year planing on going 98mm under the foot to get a better powder-skiing, however how do you think this will affect my short turns? I do like to ski agile and quickly... are short turns possible on a 98mm ski or should I consider to go in width?
