Intermediate Ski Lessons - Keeping Skis Parallel

http://www.SkiSchoolApp.com

Are you skiing parallel but still having to do a quick step during your turns? Learn to ski the right way. In this ski lesson Darren Turner, presenter of the Ski School series of Apps talks about what he calls the "Two Step", explains that it's a bad habit, not a ski technique, why it happens and how to avoid it in your parallel turns when skiing.

This is one of many lessons featured in the Ski School Intermediate iPhone app.

The Ski School series of Apps offer ski technique lessons in a format that you can take wherever you go.

I just want to tkank you ! I've been a snowboarder for years and i decided to try to ski this season ! I must say, you are -by far- the best ski teacher i've ever seen !

I'm not exagerating but in two days i've achieved quite a good level. My girlfriend who skies since she walks say that i'm not a beginner anymore and i'm more like an intermediate-advanced skier. Yes i've got lacks of confidences sometimes but it will come ! I really enjoy skiing and that's only thanks to you !

@bradhorn14 If you feel it helps and it feels better than it's probably helping keep it up.

@elatemedia I like to think about keeping my uphill foot underneath me, pulling it back. This I find allows for an engagement of the uphill ski and getting away from the "flying V" or inside ski divergence at the end of the turn, before the transition, starting somewhere just after the apex of the turn

@nukedaddy Shift your weight to your uphill ski before you turn(step up and on it). That's really all your're doing. Ski on one ski (the ski facing downhill) and the shift your weight to the other ski when you turn and do the same. It doesn't mater how steep the hill is. The other ski will carry along automatically. But in powder and moguls you have to balance on both skis. If you closely watch slalom skiers they are skiing on one ski when they turn. Now go hit those double diamonds.

@portwerk Make sure you take both hands out of the straps and hold the polls in one hand. If you're not ready to get on the lift let it go and get the next one. When you get off a chairlift place one hand on the chair and push and lean forward as you stand up.

@2shytalk When you are trying to improve your skiing it is much better to ski an easier slope well than just throwing yourself down steep slopes. Glad you enjoyed the lessons, have a great season.
