How to Carve on Skis | 3 Skills That Separate the Experts From the Intermediate

What you will Learn in this Tutorial

This video discusses the key skills that separate expert skiers from intermediate skiers when it comes to carving on skis. It highlights three major areas: edge angle, edge similarity, and outside ski pressure. The video also explores the use of technology to analyze and improve these skills. Through the use of an app, the skiers are able to track and work on their edge angle, edge similarity, and outside ski pressure, ultimately improving their skiing abilities.

Highlights

  • The video explores the differences between expert and intermediate skiers in terms of edge angle, edge similarity, and outside ski pressure.
  • It discusses the use of technology to analyze and improve these skills.
  • The skiers in the video utilize an app that provides audio cues and feedback to help them work on their edge angle, edge similarity, and outside ski pressure.
  • The skiers are able to track their progress and see improvements in their edge angle, edge similarity, and outside ski pressure through the use of the app.
  • The video emphasizes the importance of edge angle, edge similarity, and outside ski pressure in achieving more precise and controlled carving on skis.
  • The video suggests that checking for even edge similarity, maintaining outside ski pressure, and increasing edge angle can help improve carving abilities.
  • The use of a one-legged skiing technique and utilizing poles can help improve outside ski pressure.
  • The video concludes by highlighting the skiers’ improvement in edge angle, edge similarity, and outside ski pressure through the use of the app and training exercises.
