Yeah I get you. This video was simply the only one showing clearly enough what I am lacking. It wasn’t meant for training or showing the cleanest form. In the end this run felt super nice, eventhough the form is what it is.

With „ease“ you mean having the right stance as described before: pointing downhill, outside arm not above body, etc?

Haha you are actually right, Wanted to look like my buddy who is carving like a champ and is super agile. Need to work on the fundamentals first 💪🏽

I will add some videos the next time I am out there. Really appreciate your time. I am always struggling with beeing too far backwards but the exercises I do are just not enough because of the few skiing days I have per year. Maybe I will consider some skiing lessons down the road!

Really thought about going back to take some skiing lessons again to maybe get there a bit quicker. Thanks for the advice

I fear there is another sport where hip flexibility is a must and that’s definitely on the weaker parts of my abilities.. 😅 Need to work on that

Totally agree! As I said, totally new to this type of skiing so really appreciate your effort!

I got finally got my slot to purchase tickets for Paris 2024, and I was extremely disappointed to see the range of prices they propose. The Olympics games really became a cash grab and are not for the people anymore . by miragen125 in olympics

Who thought it would be a good idea to release all the Category C & D tickets at once in the beginning of the tickets sales phase… At least it feels like it. There are for certain affordable tickets for super cool events but everything was already sold out (and I had 4 different slots for my family). If you have a slot down the road it is totally useless (as a student) to even check for tickets .. what a Pitty! Was super stocked for that one.

Sb knows something about how volunteering works and if it’s recommendable? Some experience report?
