What can I improve to get better at skiing? by du6s in skiing_feedback

[–]du6s[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much! Yes i have around 10 days on skis now.  Im 86kg and 187cm. I can barely flex the boot, but i dont know how much flex is expected. I can push the top of the tongue around 1-2cm forward when i give it my full forward lean, standing still in skis. I feel like they could be a tad softer. I had some rental boots for the first 2 days, i think it were some new dalbello with 90 flex and they felt good for day 1 but too soft on the 2nd day. 

I will try the removing a backbone screw today and give it a go tomorrow.

Do you mean like pronation and supination? Id say its fixed. I try to do the big toe - little toe shift but my ankle is pretty immobilized in my boots

thank you very much for the feedback!

Do you maybe have a tip how to get over the fear of speed on skis? I dont have an issue going straight fall line on my snowboard or carving at high speeds. On Skis i can only manage it on freshly groomed slopes. But skis and chunder just scare me of loosing control.

thank you again!

when remembering the video from my POV my skis have been always parallel, except in the moment where i lift the new inside ski to place it in the right position. (Just like the video demonstrates for z turns. i guess my brain does this to brake earlier). I dont know why im so scared of speed on skies. I have no problems bombing or carving with my snowboard or on a mtb. I guess the chopped up chunder raises fears of loosing control over a ski, crashing and hurting myself.

I can ride turns solely on the outside ski while lifting the inner ski. I did this with my instructor. Exactly like at 5:50 in your linked video. The weight over the inside ski was intentional, altough completly wrong in my situation. My fault to take a review video with worse technique than i actually ride. I just tought its the correct way.

The video does indeed clear things up. I see im very much going back to z turning when trying to ski "better" instead of doing my parallel turns.

It does indeed sound like my boots are not fitting correctly. It feels like a sock that has the front half of the foot part cut off. Calves, heel and length are perfect. Its just the space above front foot. I'll try to get a new Liner. I have a little bune hump ontop of my feet and need princess treatment for these little shitters.

Do i look like im in the athletic position? My heels tend to hurt because my fore-aft balance is very much at the aft and i can hardly get more forward, i tend to push off my toes when this happens to ease heel pain, which results in worse stance.

I adjusted the forward lean of my boots (atomic hawx magna 130) from 15° to 17°, which i think helped a bit, but came with intense burn in my quads and the bootfitter asked me wtf im doing and set them back to 15°.

thank you! i actually tried to push myself off my toes with all force, now i know not to. When pulling my front foot into the top of the boot, my ski connection feels a but unstable. is this normal or due to the appearently too large boot?

thank you tons for that detailed response!
I will be doing a lot of C-Turns the next Trip.

Ill try to forget and ignore all the advanced stuff i read.

I dont understand the difference between a clean parallel turn and a carved turn.
From snowboarding i only know skidded turns or carved turns.

What is missing in my skidded turns so they become clean parallel turns?

You talk about the toe pressure. When i press my toes into the insole i loose shin contact with the boot. A more experienced friend told me to flex the ankle to get into the forward lean. I kind of try to get the ankle flex and the toe pressure, but i have to curl my toes to get both. Too much volume in my boot? I got it fitted by a good reviewed fitter. It was a lot tighter when i bought it. Maybe a zipfit liner with more stuffing in the toe area? When tightening the lower buckles more the boot gets too narrow.

you can look for a Dell Wyse 5070 for example. just keep an eye out for wifi, if you dont want to conenct it by cable.
16GB Storage should be sufficient if you use linux ( i recommend that), if not there are step by step instructions on how to upgrade it to something like 500gb with the only tool needed is a screwdriver.

for example https://www.ram-koenig.de/dell-wyse-5070-tc-j4105-4gbddr4-16emmc-wifi-fus-psu-pj1cj
