6yrs later, and this is still outstanding. 100% my favorite ski lesson channel on UKposts. I'm 60, and have been skiing since I was 3. I'm still learning to improve my technique, and all of your videos are gold! Thank you!

I learned to ski with a help of this and other videos on youtube, on 3rd day I was riding on blue trails, doing proper parallel turns. Also I noticed that many people who are skiing for years can't explain what exactly they're doing. This video is great!

Yes I do want to see Kerr again. Thank you

Love this video: great sound quality and music, likeable dudes.

love it going skiing tommorow really helped

Thank you for the video! I'm also *mostly* self taught, so these technical breakdowns are super helpful to up my game!

I love how Zen these videos are, super relaxing to watch. Makes me want to get out and ski more too.

Excellent guys, the three steps are so right for the beginners and for racing. Upper body stable, arms to the front, hips will follow. Great job.

Would like to say that your videos inspired me to step up my skiing and push myself even further. Thank you for all the videos, they are really helpful, keep up the good work!

Amazing tutorial. I've watched many vids on carving and this one is the best. Very helpful pointers.

Best video yet that shows those subtle little movements to start carving, love it! thanks guys

New to skiing, later in life, but love it! You guys make awesome videos. Have helped me a ton!

I’ve been skiing for 50 years with my feet glued together and my body turning my skis - this is going to be painful breaking all my bad habits.

It's a good video. I like your videos just to remember what I have learned when I became an instructor. I watch them over and over again to remember and improve my teaching skills.

I have been re-learning how to ski over the last year or so. I knew about keeping the bottom half busy and putting that weight on the outside ski, but I was starting my turns with driving my knees. I have a feeling starting at the ankles will help me roll in nice and smooth. Great video!

perfect explanation, more videos please ( narrow stance drills and a-frame problems)

Great duo - more please on ski technique - short and long turns - rhythm - drills - the pole plant...please!

excellent video. Learned a ton about carving. Excited to geometry this stuff out. Thanks

Thanks! Cant wait to go and try do it

Great video, look forward to putting some of these tips into practice next week.

Thanks! I will try this next week in Italy.

thanks for the tutorial..really helpful..lets skiing

I really loved this video would like to see more tutorials like these!

I started out skiing park only but now carving and ripping around the whole mountain is one of my favorite things.

PERFECT EXPLANATION

great hints!!!

Great video guys. Will try and practice this today. 👍🏻

The best channel. Thanks. Going to use this God willing.

This is what I need to work on. Proper technique. I make it down fine but I know it could improve

Great easy to remember tips!

Really good video, super helpful ⛷

omg my gopro just came in and i just keep watching ski videos. temps are now at 50’s and 60’s in michigan, i can’t wait for the season to start and carve again 😫

i've been carving wrong for 3 years :O I did have a few times where i did exactly as was instructed and the carves were so smooth, but i forgotten what i just did to get it lol thank you so much for this, will have to try next time im on the trails.

Thanks!

Love your vids! 💙💙

what a cool dude

Love ur vids

Can't wait for the skiing season. I love this channel!!

Definitely want more! Awesome vid!

Awesome video

More!!!

I just started the video but i love you man, your videos are so chill i love it. Keep it up

You are the best bro ) really helped me

Nice tip

A couple more hints / ideas. Be sure to start these exercises I am a very gentle flat slope. I find that many skiers who have actually skied several years can't do the first 2 or 3 top of your steps when they are going at a very controlled speed. But as they get going faster they get panicky and start to twist and start to Skid their skis to slow down. I picked up this carving technique back in the 70s in a book by Harold harb. And this was on what they would Now call straight skis". Of course that turns became long radius GS style turns. But they were and still are a blast. I tell my students, they paid a bunch of money for this new site cut technology. And turning the old-fashioned way by skidding the skis around it's a waste of money. Very good video by the way:-)

I wand to know more about feisty mother nature and her g-forces. Awesome work guys.

Merci

Poweder snow❤️

Great video, just what I needed, I would love to improve my turns. Now, I just need snow, haha.

I would love a video on how to ski powder!

Great stuff, Jens and Kerr! Well articulated! It would be cool to see a close-up or animated illustration of what putting the skis on edge as you roll on your ankles looks like. Is it as simple as tipping from one side to the other like carving toe-side and heel-side on a snowboard?

I really want to Learn this

Great! Cheers to the new teacher!

like it.

This Kir (?) guy looks so smooth and elegant while skiing. :o

Just curious where they are skiing? Loved the video!

Actively engaging ankle and knee movement in your turn is going to cause you to be off balance either fore or aft especially at the final phase of your turn where you will end up seeing over rotation. Your knees and ankles will naturally flex throughout the turn, but to achieve a balanced position grip should come from the directional bend in the waist.

Thanks for this guys- really helpful. Can I ask is the weight distribution even on both ski’s in the carve turn?

More hip angulation required Note at 6:06 your inside knee is bent more then your outside, that is due to the lack of hip angulation. Keep the body vertical and angle the hips to the same angle as the skis are tilted over. That way both legs are the same distance from the snow to your hips and thus both knees will bent to the same angle through the turns. If they are not bent the same you are inducing rotation forcing you to have to swing your arms, you should be able to keep both hands in front of you at all times, as if you are carrying a small tray in front of you and not have to counter rotation. If you need to counter by swigging the arms that tells you that something else isn't right, and that is mostly lack of hip angulation. Loose the pole dragging habit completely, it is masking a rotation problem. In short if you need to use the force of your swinging arms to leverage the turns then the ski edges are not doing all the turning themselves and they should be if done right.

I've just searched for video's like this, and then u come, thank you :)

As a total noob this is very helpful to understand the breakdown of the positioning throughout the turn. I’m finding it difficult to control my speed when going on edge rather than sliding at the end of each turn. Maybe that’s the point but it’s scary to a new skier!

What kind of poles are best for skiing/carving?

Thank you for the carving video. I ski many days at the week during the season and I like to advance to new styles and better technique, this is you helping me with. After practice this, especially the rolling ankles, and studied the video, I now have noticed that I can’t keep the basic position when I move down the hill. My feet and knees is twisting a lot to make the skies parallel in the basic position, and my knees is moving towards each other when I flex down, and not lengthwise the skies. This gives me a very locked position, and I can only force the uphill knee to move toward the snow. When not thinking about this new knowledge my skies end up in a very wide stance to make room for my knees to work. Last year I brought the Stomp It Tutorials to advance to jumping, and hit boxes, but every time I land a 50-50 on a slim box I slam the knees together, and landed like a steel-rod and not a nice spring like you, and my popping is good at home but terrible on skies. Now I know what happened. I need to go to the bootfitter again, and adjust my canting, or event get new boots allowing my feet to a more V-shape, to open up my knees, to align with the lengthwise axis of the ski. Thank you again. Maybe it’s because of my stance, but I have it very hard to go from switch to forward, at nearly any speed, maybe you can make some technique tips on that too.

Dude I love this channel your doing a great job but I’d love for you to try to upload more often

Guys your videos are Awesome! Nice Tutorial very helpful 👌🏼 Whats the music You used in the video?

Even though I go to ski training 2 times a week, I still found this video cool! thx for the content :D but I did not hear you say anything about space between the legs. This is important to keep the balance when you use your knees.

Turn up

No instructor today but this video let's test out this carving techniques.

Where is this? Awesome video BTW.

Hi, could you make a tutorial on how to drop a cliff please

1:15 it feels good to turn tricks

Feisty girl and her g forces... I just got that subtle reference.

Love ur videos!! What type of ski’s are you guys running in this vid? Looks like freeride?

This video has a high quality content, keep it up!

Are you from Sweden

best tutorial (I'm a begginer/intermediate skier) I hate when skiing channels go about 15 mins to explain something that takes 2 mins. Thumbs Up !

when you initiate the turn, do you move knee first or roll ankle first?

What Lange boots do you guys use and why? Excelent videos as always

Would love to see a cork 3 tutorial :)

How did you ride the ski’s in this video? Centered? I have rossignol S3 and have them mounted at factory.. what do you guys prefer?

Haven gone skiing for 3 years. Needed to brush up. Fucking ready to ride now thanks gents.

What foot would I put more weight on?

Very good this videovery good your moustache very good my speak englisch

Ker!!

Aaah Its Ya Boii Kerr McWilliam!!!
