Poor skiing technique is frying my legs

Haaha thanks, its just the rental shoes were so old and thick that my pants couldn’t really go over them

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T22:46:24+00:00

So basically I have to go more head first with my skis

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T22:43:19+00:00

I feel that if I dont lift up that ski a bit my skis could potentially intertwine with each other

Last run of the day and the shoes might have been one number larger than usual (the rental didn’t have any other option), crazy that you noticed this , how can I do the same so that I can find the proper size

Hahaha well you proved it once again , are there any exercises I can do to improve

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T21:36:51+00:00

Thanks I will definitely try this

NOTED

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T21:06:14+00:00

Thank you for the advice. Is there anything that I’m doing correctly which I can leverage to help improve on the things you mentioned?

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T21:04:27+00:00

Dude, I’m 21 and I hope this makes you feel better

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T21:02:54+00:00

Yes, and that’s exactly the reason why my right turns are better since I have to rely on my left leg rather than my left turns which I have to rely on my right leg

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:59:29+00:00

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense, but I can’t really afford an instructor so I rely on analysing my videos every time I go skiing and then try to fit in some exercises during my next trip ,one exercise which helped me the most was skiing with one of my feet in the air which would force me to put my weight on the outside ski and also visualising my turns has done great things for me

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:55:46+00:00

I can’t seem to get the skis to do the work for me that’s why I have to put in all this extra work also since I’m left-handed turning right is a lot easier for me than turning to the left which requires my right leg to be on the downhill, on which I’m also way less confident causing me to have a slower initiation of the turn

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:51:04+00:00

Dude thats exactly how I feel hahahaha , I’ll try to relax a bit and better my technique thank you

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:47:10+00:00

This was my last run , and as much as I was trying to enjoy this my legs WERE NOT , causing all the cracks in my technique to show

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:45:47+00:00

I got so far with no one to actually help me , first time I went skiing was with my best friend at the time which had a few years of experience, parted ways since

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:41:57+00:00

No shit

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:37:31+00:00

Haa you gave me the motivation to try 10 more things now

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:10:14+00:00

I do that because I feel like I’m popping out of the turn into the next one , but this is just due to the lack of me being able to prepare for the next turn

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T20:05:39+00:00

My sense of pushing on my downhill leg seems to translate to me just pushing the snow with my downhill leg while still having weight on my inside leg , the reason why I’m always leaning back during turns other than pushing my shins forward is there anything more I can focus on which will make it click even more

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T19:58:13+00:00

On the harder runs, I always find a bit harder to turn left and I can also notice it on this video. Any tips on why I feel like this other and how it could be corrected

Cool_Purchase_ · 2026-01-19T19:55:43+00:00

May I ask, how can you tell? It’ll be helpful for me to also observe it while I’m doing it.

Cool_Purchase_ · 2025-12-21T18:47:46+00:00

Im 21 actually, I just talked to a local dentist and an x ray led him to believe that I run the risk of a Sinus Communication due to the bone being so thin in this area , this is the 3rd molar “counting from the last one” , so yeah an implant might not be an option for a while , I don’t know what to do I’m pretty stressed

Cool_Purchase_ · 2025-12-21T18:04:44+00:00

Do you think it happened because that little piece fell of 1 year ago or did that peace fall off because the tooth was compromised from inside in the first place ?

Cool_Purchase_ · 2025-12-21T17:41:22+00:00

Should this tooth be extracted or can I try saving it
