5 Reasons You Suck at Skiing | Let´s Fix It

Learn how to ski better on piste! This video shows 5 common mistakes or reasons why you might be skiing poorly, just like I used to. Learn to set goals, utilize immediate feedback (proprioceptive feedback, video analysis and the Carv app), master crucial drills to learn to turn from the skis and upwards (open boots, parallel skis, etc.), and understand ideal turn shapes. Improve your edge angles, posture, balance, and overall flow. Equipment tips on boot fitting, ski selection, and drills to take your skiing from “suck” to “slick” are included.
