How to Short Turn | the 1 Mistake Advanced Skiers Do

What you will Learn in this Tutorial

This video features coach Josh coaching Jens, on how to improve his short turns. They discuss the difference between short turns and larger turns, emphasizing the importance of upper body separation. Jens initially struggles with leaning too far forward and losing pressure on his skis, resulting in skidding and zigzag movements. Josh instructs him to sit back on his skis and exaggerate the weight on his heels, which leads to cleaner turns and more consistent pressure. However, this new technique uncovers the issue of falling over, so they plan to focus on improving angulation and rotational separation in the next video.
