So graceful and on point, I could watch her ski all day.

I stopped skiing at age 25, never put on another pair of sticks. probably considered a strong intermediate to advance skier; loved to rip but wasn’t great, or spend much time in the bumps. 3 years ago, and 30 years after my last ski, I decided to pick it back up. Fortunately, my very old and straight Rossignol SL80 would not be any shape to ski with therefore I bought a pair of Nordic Navigator 85.

Wow how technology changed.
Anyway, I experienced my first carv this year. When I first felt the front of my skis on edge it was like nothing I experienced before. It was short lived but the feel was ingrained…. And before the end of my season this year I was on arcing beautiful rails on moderate to easy blues. Can’t wait to work on my technique next year.

So many people including some World cup skiers ski with their inside foot forward of the stance foot. Others find it's better to keep your inside foot/ski further back and closer to the downhill/stance foot/ski.

Amazing! I’m new to skiing and this excites me

[davidn.]

I'm 6'4" I tried skiing for the first time this January and I was falling like crazy. My skis were too long for me. I really want to learn parallel skiing/ carving Next time I hit the mountains.

Great Video!!! Carving is amazing! Great fun on any day!

[matitarczynski]

Good carving! But why on this crazy freeride skis?

[MrDogonjon]

There is a very good provable reason it's so fun... rectilinear motion.... yep... inertial reference frame... Special Relativity, Einsteins "happiest idea" is not just good advice it's mandatory for functionally understanding nature among mountains, trees and water.

she's on Icelantic Shamans, probably 160 shovel, 110 underfoot, 130 rear, 12mm sidecut, 161cm long. I have 500 days on my rock Shamans, huge range, float city in powder, very light skis. I ski Alta/Snowbird in all conditions. No need to go longer than 161cm, it's a lot of volume.

[rossyhead]

What's more impressive is that she's doing this on what looks like fairly fat skis! Awesome

[awaken]

How about carving and steep slopes? Is it mutually exclusive? I didn't see anybody doing carving on steep, is there a special technique?

[williamspostoronnim]

Ничего не понял, но катается Ричардсонка отменно!

[JohnLumapaskeith]

where should we put our weight on a turn Kaylin? downhill or uphill ski?

[SamSoMite]

I can only imagine how much greater your turns would be on slalom skis instead of those water-skis!

[skibusch]

perfect technique, I'm thinking she still has her original knees

[WillY-bvjq]

I am 170cm tall, and my ski is 156cm long, is it too short to make carve？

[AlbaAdventures]

Just subscribed.. Showing our kids tonight..

[markmd]

Can you do carving and go slow? because I'm afraid to go fast

[ggalpha]

I like the way you ski, perhaps I think you should put a little more pressure on your outside ski at the beginning of the turn, watching carefully in slow motion some turns a bit of sliding of the outside ski can be seen. It’s just my appreciation. Some people tends to advance the inside ski too early with the result of the sliding on the outside. Must be careful with that. But great ski anyway 👍🏻

Sweet! are you Julia Mancuso's twin sister I never knew about? :))
