  • That guy finally fuckin fell over :D

  • nice skiing but you missed a pretty big point about this sort of skiing. At this stage you need to emphsize the use of your core muscles to keep you centered. It's very easy to get thrown forward or back. You should have shown a couple of exercies to work on this. A simple one I use with clients is to have them exhale or even make a loud noise at the end of a turn. This tightens the abs without them even thinking about it, and suddenly they are skiing the off piste better.

  • REALLLLY COOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • sooooo cool

  • Bumps are Mogals, FYI.

  • For 'sharp turns' maybe we should say 'frequent turns' for, in 4:20 to 4:30 we see Z-turns - with longer traverses that may allow speed to build, and lead to less control (and jerked turns) because they lose the rhythm so well shown in other clips on this video, where more smoothly linked and executed turns can be seen.

  • its pretty tough to keep your tips above the powder if its any decent depth unless your skiing on super fats, its much better to keep your center over your boots and ski with your skis beneath the surface, much less work WAY MORE FUN!!!!, it changed my powder skiing forever, also its ok to lead powder turns with your shoulders, in the bumps as with on piste your shoulders should always face the fall line

  • This is nice old school skiing! Very agile with a narrow stance and lots of up and down movement.

  • Don't lean back...stay centered! Skiing from the "back seat" is not a good idea.

  • Not a good video. For bumps he should have mentioned the importance of picking out a line or route that you want to follow as you weave between the bumps. In that way you don't let the bumps dictate where you go nearly as much.

    In powder he should have mentioned the jump turn. On the steeps its a great way to control speed and give you that floating sensation.

  • it's still the same, stay centered. So many people will tell you to lean back a bit, but this really isn't good, especially in any sort of steep off piste, whether it be powder, chopped up off piste or crud.

  • thanks you thought me so much last year for my first

    trip skiing i was skiing on my own after 4 days
