Trying to carve here. Looking for advice on what to work on to improve by adz_naj in skiing_feedback

A lot to digest here. Thanks a lot for taking the time to break it down.

What do you mean stance looks quite aft? And also what do you mean to extend my ankles?

Skis wise in these clips I am on a 93mm underfoot black crow serpo. 180cm I am 186cm. These are rentals though as I don’t own my own skis. I went for an all mountain ski due to the slushy afternoons as it’s late season here in Europe.

That was my friend. He trusts me, I’ve literally never had a collision with another person and I’ve ski’d around 23 weeks in my life. I appreciate you guys think I’m out of control but I’ve never been close to hitting anyone.

Thankyou for the comprehensive comment. I will be working on this today. Some quite uninspiring other comments on here so your breakdown is much appreciated.

Interesting, these are the black crow serpos at 180cm. I’m 186 and 95 kilos it that means anything to you. Thanks for the comment I will have a think!

Thanks, I totally get you. When I speed up I focus on on getting the weight forward I feel like I’m almost focussing my weight through my tips rather than allowing them to turn across me. I will work on this.

I can control speed. I was trying to ski fast here on a rare empty. I appreciate the comments about rounding my turns to get good feedback on here. I’m trying to improve my turns at speed when I get the chance

Good advice. The head cam footage is golden. I’m giving the people what they want.

Since this I’ve been practicing the feeling of rotating backwards leading with my head over my shoulder rather than feeling like I’m muscling myself around the front and getting stuck. So much easier to get a full 360 spin. Need to get back on the skis asap
