@skilikeagolfcart Please don't confuse teaching methodology with actual technique. Obviously knees are a hinge joint & do not bend laterally... it is actually the femur rotating in the hip socket & some foot pronation that gives that appearance. 'Moving the knees in' is just a method to simplify things for teaching purposes and may be better suited to visual type learners. Analytical type learners such as yourself may prefer a more detailed explanation. It is no more dangerous.

So I'm wondering why would you teach people to point their knees laterally? Isn't that a dangerous instruction? Knees perhaps shouldn't be the focus, the focus should be on the feet. I've seen instruction that emphasises tipping of the feet on edge, that seems safer to me.

Nice turns dude!! If I might offer a little D & C (detection & Correction) as we called it back in the day...lol. You're obviously a 3 maybe even a 4 and ski great. I wonder if the guys that session you have suggested you stay taller a little longer at the start of your turn, instead of dropping the hip inside so fast...? You ski very nice all the same.

@ktkl68 - You should be able to carve on just about any ski these days, but a 112 under foot fully rockered ski probably isn't doing you any favors on hard snow. The narrower the ski, the easier it will be to grip on the ice... easier to tip the ski over as well. This will make a big difference. A lot of the new all mountain carvers now have a bit of rocker in the tip and tail which will also make it easier to initiate a carve but traditional camber under foot is key to keeping the performance.

@section8ski Thank you for the reply!! I ski 183cm Katana and I am anything but great. Unless I am going super fast I cannot really carve on these and I don't feel comfortable going too fast. Plus I'm in the east coast...... and it's all ice here. If I get a shorter raduis skis like around 17ish would I see a huge difference?

@ktkl68 Thanks.. The skis are around 18m or 19m radius if my memory serves me correctly... sorry it has been a few years since this was shot.

Ski Tips 4: Confidence On Steepsby marmottematt18,896 views
I used to ski with old straight skis and when I turned I always keep my skis together tight. I never tried the shaped skis. Are you supoosed to keep your skis apart now when turning now for some reason. Thanks

@pbr2424 Its depends on what you are trying to achieve. A wider stance is more stable and allows the legs to move more independently... narrower stance is quicker, more agile and allows the legs to move more in unison. This is why you see a downhill racer with a wide stance and a mogul skier with a narrow stance. For carving GS type turns on hard snow a wider stance is more suitable... for quick short turns in bumps and powder you will probably find a narrower stance more appropriate.

Do you have any tips on how to teach little kids (five year olds) on how to ski better?
wanger008 2 months ago
@wanger008 Sure.. What level does you five year old ski at? It is difficult to give specifics with actually watching him or her but I can probably give you some general advice.
The big things at this age are to keep it safe and make it fun!
- Firstly make sure equipment is setting them up for success. Probably doesn't need poles quite yet.
- Kids at this age respond to games... not directions... use your imagination to create games that will help build skills. Lots of following!
