Advanced Ski Lesson #5.3 - Dynamic Turns

http://www.SkiSchoolApp.com

Skiing at higher speeds, you'll need to be more dynamic on your skis. In this ski lesson, ski instructor Darren Turner draws a parallel with riding a bike round a corner and illustrates the difference in relative angulation between legs and upper body at lower and higher speeds. Once you understand this you can start working it into your skiing.

Why not take this lesson (and the rest of the Ski School Advanced lessons) on holiday with you on your mobile phone? Check out Ski School Advanced at the app store:

Great video !

I have ski problem: A frame. I'm trying Javelin Turn now.

Could you tell me how to fix it? Appreciated

@SuperMoney8 A lot of people Aframe when they try to edge too much too soon,try to be progressive and gradually roll both skis onto the edges don't try too hard at the start of the tern.

I agree with @MrMadheadmike the turns are very unnatural. The angulation that you talk about achieving needs to come from rolling the ankles. Your upper body does need to be quite but not stiff. Your hips should flex leaving your shoulders level and your hands AWAY from the ground, not like yours which get closer and closer with speed. Your form is great but could be improved; the turns you make aren't nearly as smooth as they could be

@mmcg325 My legs are leaning more than my upper body but there is no reason for my shoulders to stay horizontal all of the time, we are not in the 90s any more

@alexday355 Glad you appreciate the videos I hope it helps when you get on the snow have a great winter.

@alexday355 I was just putting forward my opinion. I'm not saying that my skiing is perfect, just that I learnt from someone else in a different way. No need to get arsey about it.
