Honestly in my opinion the best tip for getting better at skiing is consistently go skiing with people that are better than you

[Hello_there_obi]

I found that skating with my skis taught me the most. The longer you hold it one ski the better. It gets you comfortable with the feelings of balancing on one ski and it's the perfect segway into dolphin turns.

Good fitting skiboots are essential. If your heels are always coming up if you lean forward you will have a bad feeling of connection and control. This leads to leaning back again. The next problem is to much stiffness from the boots. If you have a 4 buckle boot and you need to close the 3. buckle from above to strong to get a tight feeling, the inner plastic of the boot will give to much pressure to the lower shin and the boot nearly cant move forward anymore.

Brilliant. Really useful tips which I will try next week. Think I'm guilty off all of these. I've only been skiing for 4 years and class myself as a nervous intermediate. I've got better fitting boots this year and I'm hoping you feel more connected to the snow and more confident this year. I can get down reds but I really don't enjoy it.

I know all this. Once I pick up speed everything falls apart. 😩

Great videos! Visualization is the key. Drills shown in the videos are excellent!

[guyefune]

Tips in the video were really helpful, Thank you!

i learnt ski by myself and i decided to learn skiing professionally but my area doesn’t have that and this video is great

Hey Jens, nice video series. Appreciate them as complement to lots of practice and a few lessons at my local slope. I use these as a reminder of what to do/not do in the mornings before I start my day or midday if something doesn't feel right and I need to adjust (I'm mostly on blue square in north america). One suggestion - maybe say a quick sentence or two on why each technique is correct or incorrect or when it's desirable (or ask the guest/co-host to do so)? Sometimes the 'why' is intuitive to a casual observer (noob like me) and sometimes it's not. Thanks again.

[satterhenne]

hey man, just wanted to drop a comment that I really like and appreciate your videos. Helped me a lot to get much better at skiing! Thanks!

[briannapinson]

You helped me start in my freestyle career and now I’m just sitting in the park for 4 hours and and doing cork 360s, 540s, ext.

[pentimento]

Holy cow. The trick where you lift one leg at a time works SO AMAZINGly. I just went down my first blue square and if I hadn't watched this video, I would NOT have made it through the day. Thank you so much!

EDIT: The reason I needed this video was that it's my 2nd time ever going skiing and I can't get lessons for my skill level but my dad and uncle don't want to go down the green dots so the blue squares were the only option

I fell in powder yesterday. Rock vs collar bone = broken collar bone. Surgery on thursday. Rip this season

Твои видосы, как Тарантиновские фильмы, с начала учишь прыгать, а теперь как правильно карвить, не зря подписался, теперь уверенней себя на трассе чувствую, жаль что в русском переводе нет

[Cragcloud]

Your videos are really good! I am learning skiing and your tips are great 😄

[frenchhead]

Could you get ed to do a tutorial on skiing switch

[michaelross]

Timing so important in turns. When I was improving, music with a reasonable steady beat and rhythm was brilliant. Similar to counting 1-2-3, but the beat is coming through the music.

[dalciocc]

Great video Jens, congrats man!! Btw pretty cool those Atomic googles, I appreciate if you let me know the model. Cheers!

[filmic]

I'm an intermediate/advanced intermediate and never took a lesson in my life. I improved my transition when I was advised to hold my ski poles crosswise out in front of me like a horizontal bar as if the ends were like gates and to ski the fall line imagining I'm skiing between the tip and handles with my body as square to the fall line as possible.
